Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Needle Rock in Mendocino County is a remote and rarely surfed point break located along the rugged Sinkyone Wilderness coast. It faces west and works best on long-period groundswells from the west or northwest, especially in winter, with offshore winds from the east or northeast. The wave breaks over a rock and reef bottom, producing fast, powerful sections that are best suited for experienced surfers. Access requires a challenging hike, and the spot is almost always uncrowded due to its isolation. Hazards include sharp rocks, strong currents, and potential wildlife encounters. Winter offers the most consistent conditions.

Best Swell Direction: SW

Bottom Type: Sand and Reef

Location: County: Mendocino County | State: California | Country: United States | Road: Bear Harbor Road | Full Address: Needle Rock Camp, Bear Harbor Road, Mendocino County, California, United States
