About
At Greyhound Rock, a hidden gem along the rugged California coast, surfers are greeted by world-class lefts that peel over flat rocks and sand. This reef-rocky spot thrives on swells from the north to southwest, holding strong from under three feet to towering twelve-plus. Best ridden at low to mid tide, the waves offer thrilling barrels, but caution is advised; the eerie beauty of the cove can feel lonely, with sealions lurking in the mist. Located just north of Santa Cruz in Davenport, it’s a place where the ocean's roar echoes the solitude of the surf.
