About
Marina State Beach, nestled in Monterey, California, offers an exposed beach break that thrives year-round, with waves breaking both left and right over soft sand. The best swells come from the north and northwest, with conditions peaking at mid tide during rising and falling tides, typically working well between 3 to 16 feet. While the waves can barrel, they are less crowded, allowing for a more intimate experience with nature, though be wary of rips and occasional sharks lurking beneath. The east-southeast winds provide the ideal offshore conditions, making this spot a reliable choice for surfers seeking a solid ride amidst the rugged beauty of the California coast.
