Local Knowledge

Scott Creek-Reef in Santa Cruz is an exposed beach and reef break with reliable surf, especially during winter, with January being the best month. This right-hand reef break performs best when clean groundswells from the northwest meet offshore winds from the east. The surf quality remains steady regardless of tide, and it tends to be uncrowded. Surfers should exercise caution due to rips, sharks, and rocks.
