About
Linda Mar, nestled in Pacifica, California, offers a mile-long stretch of sandy beach where the waves break both left and right, inviting surfers of all levels. The beach-break here is known for its sloppy waves, best at high tide and rising, with swells from the north and northwest, holding up to 6 feet. It serves as a testing ground for beginners, who can learn to navigate its rippable surf, while more experienced surfers may find it a fun challenge amidst the crowds. Despite its reputation for mediocrity, Linda Mar is a place where the essence of surfing—the struggle, the beatings, and the eventual triumph—truly unfolds.
