About

Moonstone, nestled in Westhaven-Moonstone, California, invites surfers to its sandy beach breaks, where waves dance between lefts and rights. The surf thrives year-round, often catching distant groundswells, especially in winter when the swell is at its best, providing rides from under 1 meter to over 2.5 meters. With rising and falling tides, the break is forgiving, making it suitable for intermediates, though it can become crowded. The cool waters, around 13.8°C, demand a spring wetsuit, but the thrill of the surf makes it worth the chill.
