Half Moon Bay

Montara Beach

Very strong and powerful in the winter time. Cliffs on south side often block the wind. It's a good high tide place and on occasion can get troughy ( yuck ). The best time of the year to skim is in the winter months by the south end and in the summer near the middle. Montara makes a good solid barrel and often can make liners coming from the south. If there would ever be a contest here, this is where it would be. Very easy to find. Take Highway 1 to Montara and it is right in front of the Chart House Restaurant. Parking is free!

State Beach

The best spot on the coast when the wind is not up and there is no trough or dead water in front of the waves. Straight waves come in ( 2 - 5 ft), while siders are rare. Very strong barrels...This place is a must check place, because at times it is going off. Often good in the summer with a high tide and no wind. Don't worry about the water being so frigid up here either, it's not that bad... I like this spot a lot due to its driving barrels and good looking women on weekends.

In downtown Half Moon Bay, go towards the ocean off Highway one on Kelly Ave. where on the corner lies TRES AMIGOS Spanish food (best burrito in town ), take it all the way down the road and you're there.
