About
Gazos Creek, nestled in the rugged embrace of Santa Cruz, offers a sandy beach break that yields both left and right waves, suitable for riders of all skill levels. The swells, best from the west and southwest, start to show promise at 3 to 5 feet, peaking at over 10 feet during powerful winter swells. Mid to high tide, particularly on a rising tide, reveals the spot's rippable potential, though surfers should remain wary of rocks and the occasional rip current. Here, the solitude of the coast often leaves you alone with the ocean, a welcome escape from the crowded breaks of nearby shores.
