About
Montara, nestled on California's rugged San Mateo coast, offers a regional classic surf experience with rippable sand-bar waves breaking right and left. The spot thrives on swells from nearly every direction, coming alive when the swell hits 1 to 1.5 meters, holding its power well beyond 5 meters. With a sandy bottom and favorable conditions at all tides, surfers can find joy in both rising and falling tides. It's a place where the ocean's pulse beckons, and the sound of crashing waves harmonizes with the call of the wild.
