About
Mavericks, nestled off the coast of Half Moon Bay, California, is a realm where the ocean roars and giants rise. With waves that begin to stir at 8 to 10 feet and can swell to over 16 feet, this reef-rocky break offers barrels that test the courage of the bold. The swells come from the Northwest, while the east winds shape the ride, favoring all tides in their rise and fall. Here, amidst the sharp rocks and coral, legends are made, and the spirit of surfing pulses through the very air.
