About
At North Jetty in Humboldt County, the waves roll in with a powerful barrel, breaking both right and left off the jetty's sandy bottom. This regional classic awakens when swells of 1.5 to 2 meters rise, holding their strength up to 4 meters and beyond, best surfed during low to mid falling tides. The consistent surf here thrives on westerly and southwesterly swells, with favorable winds from the southeast to east. A few hundred feet from shore, the easy paddling channel belies the monster waves that await, making this spot a true gem for experienced surfers seeking adventure.
