Bares surf guide

Bares is an east-facing beachbreak that does best when the surf's coming from the Northwest. It's a pretty chill spot that usually isn't too crowded, so you'll have plenty of room to catch some waves. Parking is easy, and the setting is nice if you just want to enjoy the beach vibe.

The best swell sizes for Bares are around 3ft (about 0.9 meters), with the optimal swell coming from the Northwest. You can also catch some north swells, but the waves will break over the sand, which gives you a soft landing. You'll find lefts and rights here, making it a decent choice for both regular and goofy footers. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid tide, and if the wind is coming from the Southwest, you're in for a good session. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so keep that in mind.

Overall, Bares is a solid spot for those looking to get away from the crowds and enjoy some fun beach breaks. It can handle various swell directions and sizes, making it a versatile option for your surfing adventures.
