Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Salinas River State Beach in Monterey is an exposed beach break that typically offers reliable waves, with winter being the prime season for surf. The break provides both left and right-hand waves and is best surfed around high tide as it rises. While it can get crowded at times, it generally remains manageable. Surfers should watch out for rips, locals, and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a west swell aligns with east-southeast offshore winds, with the most consistent clean waves usually in January.

Best Swell Direction: NW
