Kings Beach Surf Guide

Kings Beach on the North Coast is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south southeast. Waves at the beach break both left and right. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Beware of rocks, rips, sharks and jellyfish.
