Location guide

Moss Landing, situated in Central California, is known for its notable Pacific Ocean surf. It offers a variety of surfing conditions that can be both exhilarating and challenging depending on the specific conditions for any given day. Located in Monterey Bay, Moss Landing enjoys the characteristic powerful swells of the Pacific which are a draw for the seasoned surfer. The Moss Landing surf relies profoundly on the combination of the swell and wind. The beach's primary swell comes from the west-northwest, whereas the best wind direction is from the northeast. It's worth noting too, that the ideal swell period is around 12 seconds. These optimal conditions result in the formation of good quality, powerful waves which are a thrill to ride. Surfers might also note that the break at Moss Landing is predominantly right-hand break, effectively making it a regular-footer's playground. The right-hand break at Moss is popular, catering to a mix of both expert and intermediate surfers, so surf etiquette is especially important here. The water temperature at Moss Landing can be quite cool, often hovering around the 50s to low 60s (Fahrenheit). Consequently, the use of wetsuits is common in order to brave the nippy waters. Furthermore, with great white sharks known to frequent Monterey Bay, surfers are advised to exercise caution, particularly during dawn and dusk when sharks are most active. In summary, the surf at Moss Landing can be quite the attraction for the seasoned surfer, displaying power and offering challenges with its right-hand break. Its cooler waters and enhancing local wildlife just add to the thrill and adventure encapsulated in this scenic location.
