SANTA CRUZ - California
With more breaks than you’ve got fingers and toes there’s pretty much everything on offer for all levels of surfer.
There’s beginner level waves at Capitola Beach to offshore 20ft+ monsters at the world renowned Mavericks.
Localism is rampant and numerous breaks are dominated by aggressive surfers who aren’t backwards in letting you know you’re in the wrong place !!
One thing Santa Cruz does have tho, is a bunch of “secret spots” to match the everyday crowded ones. If you’re up for a bit of a drive and a walk there are a bunch of breaks along either hwy out of town.
