About
Big Lagoon, nestled just north of Trinidad, California, offers a blend of sandy beach breaks that cater to both right and left-handers. The waves, while of normal quality, can deliver fun barrels, particularly at low tide when the swell from the Northwest, West, or Southwest rolls in, starting at 3 feet and peaking above 6 feet. A sandy bottom makes it a forgiving spot, but be wary of rip currents that may challenge even seasoned surfers. The beauty of this secluded beach, with its wooded surroundings and the distant roar of the Pacific, invites solitude and contemplation between rides.
