About
Deadman’s, nestled in the rugged cliffs of Humboldt County, California, offers a right point-break that barrels beautifully when the swell hits from the Northwest, West, or Southwest. The sandy bottom, dotted with rocks, combines with the falling tide at low, creating waves that begin to work at 3 to 5 feet and can hold up to 8 feet or more. Surfers brave enough to navigate the steep path down from the golf course are rewarded with a classic regional wave, known for its power and occasional epic sessions. Beware the crowd, for this spot attracts those who seek both challenge and the thrill of the sea.
