About

Cypress, located in Monterey, California, is a world-class surf spot that demands respect. The waves, both right and left, break over flat rocks and sand, offering powerful barrels that start working at around 6 to 8 feet and can hold up to 12 feet or more. Best surf is found during mid to high tide with a rising tide, ideally when the swell rolls in from the west and the winds blow from the southeast. This is a place where the ocean speaks, and the surfer must listen closely.
