About

Leffingwell Landing, nestled along the rugged coastline of Cambria, California, offers world-class right-hand reef waves that break over boulders. This spot thrives on winter swells, best surfed at mid tide with rising and falling movements, producing long, exhilarating rides for those willing to navigate the rocky entry. While the waves can reach impressive heights of over 10 feet, surfers should remain vigilant of the lurking seals and occasional sharks, especially in winter's chill. Accessible by a short walk from neighborhood parking, it remains a hidden gem, often enjoyed with few fellow riders.
