Description
From Surfer magazine comes not one but two ultimate guides to the many excellent surf spots along the California coast. Destined for the glove box, these two books cover every seaside county from the Oregon border to Mexico and feature easy to digest maps, black and white photographs of surf breaks, and a text that is as engaging as it is informative. For over 200 spots, these guides deliver a clear assessment of wave quality, prime wave conditions, and local hazards (both natural and manmade). Is the wave best suited for beginners or hellmen? Is west the best, or does southeast give it teeth? What tide? What wind? How are the locals? Are they worse than the sharks? Authoritative yet conversational, tightly designed yet easy to use, these Surfer's Guides are the resources for surf novices, experts, and anyone looking to score the perfect wave. Counties covered: Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara,Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego.
