Doran Beach in Sonoma is an exposed beach break that has inconsistent surf Works best in offshore winds from the north with some shelter here from north winds. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. Waves at the beach tend to peel to the right. Good surf at all stages of the tide. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Beware of sharks, rips and rocks.
