About
Scott's Creek, nestled in Santa Cruz, California, is a beach-break that offers rippable waves, both right and left, on a sandy bottom. The surf thrives on Northwest, West, and Southwest swells, coming alive at 3 to 5 feet and holding up to 8 feet when conditions align. Best surfed during mid to high rising tides, the spot is often uncrowded, with the wind favoring the Southeast during summer months. Watch for rips and rocks, for nature is both beautiful and fierce here.
