Stockton Avenue surf guide

Stockton Avenue is a surf spot located at the end of Stockton Ave, where you can look over the bluffs to spot the waves in the mid-cove. This area is somewhat known in the surf community for its unique qualities, but it’s not necessarily an easy place to catch a wave. Expect a mixed crowd, and be ready for some aggressive locals who can make it tough for outsiders to find their rhythm here.

The wave at Stockton Avenue is a small, right-breaking reef wave that works best with S-SW swells. It can offer perfect righthand barrels, but the take-off zone is really tiny, which means only expert surfers should tackle it. This spot can handle swell sizes starting at about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and goes up to head-high, but it tends to close out when it gets too big. Low tides are preferable, and for the best conditions, a light NE wind is ideal. Swells from the south and northwest can also have some effect, but they’re not the sweet spot.

Make sure to take note of the rocky ledge where the waves break; it can be tricky if you’re not familiar with the area. As always, keep an eye on the local crowd and respect the lineup. It’s a challenging spot, but those who know how to navigate it might just find a rewarding session.
