Local Knowledge
Stockton Avenue in Santa Cruz is an exposed right-hand reef break with reasonably consistent surf, best suited for winter conditions, particularly in January. The break performs well when southwest swells meet offshore northeast winds, with groundswells more common than windswells. Optimal conditions occur around low tide, and the spot is known to attract crowds. Surfers should be cautious of sharks and localism.
