About

Bunkers lies in the rugged embrace of Humboldt County, California, where the waves unfurl in both right and left directions over a sandy bottom. The surf can be sloppy, but with the right conditions, expect barrels that power through swells from the northwest, west, and southwest, ideally around mid to high tide on a rising tide. Waves typically start working at a modest 1.5 meters and can hold up to 5 meters when the ocean roars. This spot, often crowded, rewards patience and respect among surfers, whispering tales of solitude to those who seek it.
