About

Hare Creek, nestled in Mendocino, California, offers a canvas of sandy bars where waves roll in from the Southwest. Surfers can find both rippable lefts and rights, best surfed during low to mid tide on a rising swell between 3 to 8 feet. The ocean floor is a mix of sand and rock, providing a playful challenge, though the quality is often normal and can be fickle. Be mindful of the North and Northwest winds, which can shape the day, and the potential hazards lurking beneath the surface.
