Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Manresa State Beach in Santa Cruz is an exposed beach break that offers consistent surf year-round, with optimal conditions occurring during winter, particularly in January. The best surf happens when a west swell meets offshore winds from the northeast. This spot picks up primarily groundswells and works best around a rising mid tide, producing both left and right-hand waves. While it’s a fairly popular location and can get crowded, surfers should be cautious of strong rip currents.
