About

At Redwood Creek in Humboldt, California, the waves break with a chossy temperament, offering both lefts and rights at this exposed rivermouth. The bouldery bottom adds a sense of adventure, while swells from the southeast to east stir up rideable conditions that come alive at low tide, particularly during falling tides. Best surf is seen in the winter, especially January, when the relentless power of 12-foot swells beckons the brave. Beware the localism, rips, and the lurking shadows beneath, for this spot demands respect.
