Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Privates in Santa Cruz is a tucked-in semi-exposed rock-and-sand peak that delivers smooth right-handers most consistently from November through March, with December and January typically offering the best sessions. The break lights up on west to northwest swells accompanied by light northeasterly offshore winds. It favors mid to low tides, when the mixed bottom allows for clean peeling waves over both rock and sand. Access requires passing through a gated entry—today open during daylight hours thanks to Coastal Commission intervention—so guests are asked to be courteous to locals and observe lineup etiquette in this mostly longboard-friendly, sometimes crowded spot.
