About
Natural Bridges, nestled in Santa Cruz, California, offers a revered right-hand reef break that barrels fiercely over flat rocks and sand. The waves, a regional classic, come alive with swells from the northwest and southwest, working best between 3 to 16 feet as tides ebb and flow. Surfers should heed the hazards of rocks and sea urchins, for the ocean here respects no one. With winds favoring the east and southeast, this spot beckons the intermediate and advanced alike to dance with its powerful, curling waves.
