About
At Goat Rock in Sonoma, California, the waves roll in from the northwest, peeling left over a sandy bottom punctuated by scattered rocks. When the swell hits, it can hold up to 6 feet, delivering barrels that beckon the bold. The best time to ride is at low to mid tide, when the power of the ocean reveals its true character. Here, the west winds whisper through the pines, and the surfers chase the horizon, seeking both solitude and thrill.
