About
Monkey Point, nestled in San Mateo, California, offers world-class left-hand point breaks that thrill the soul. The waves rise from the north and northwest, powerful and barreling, breaking over sharp coral and rocky reefs at low to mid tide, especially during a falling tide. Swell sizes that start at 5 to 6 feet can reach upwards of 10 feet, attracting those who seek both challenge and beauty in the ocean. Be cautious of the sharp bottom, for the ocean is as fierce as it is alluring.
