Patrick's Point surf guide

Patrick's Point is located in Humboldt County, California, and it's known for its stunning views and challenging surf conditions. This spot is not for the faint-hearted; it’s generally better suited for more experienced surfers. The scenery around is beautiful, offering a nice environment for a surf trip, and there's camping available in the park for those who want to stay close to the water.

The surf here is mostly a left point break that really comes alive with larger swells. It handles swell sizes at about 5ft (1.5 meters) and can get pretty powerful, especially during the winter months. The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it can also pick up swells from the south and north. You’ll want to catch it at high tide, and the best winds for surfing are from the east. Be prepared for uneven reef and submerged boulders that can make things tricky, especially at Agate Beach, where waves are known to be steep and hollow. This spot definitely demands expert skills to navigate the conditions safely.

While you’re out there, keep in mind that the waves can be pretty mean and can snap boards easily, so you’ll need to be at the top of your game. It's not the most user-friendly place, but for those willing to tackle the challenge, it offers a unique surfing experience. Just remember, it’s best to hit the water during winter, and the conditions can get intense, so be ready to show off your skills.
