A remote and powerful beach break at the northern edge of Santa Cruz County where Waddell Creek meets the Pacific. Famous for windsurfing and kitesurfing but also produces heavy beach break peaks for experienced surfers. The wide-open exposure catches any swell angle and the creek mouth creates shifting sandbars. Cold water and strong currents demand respect.
