Linda Mar Surfing Spot


This is a mostly west-facing beach in Pacifica. Linda Mar is a mile-long stretch of beach just north of Pedro Point.

It’s a very picturesque area and somewhat protected from the wind. The break here is usually fairly forgiving, and on a nice weekend it can attract a fair number of novice surfers.

However, Linda Mar can also produce a fun and challenging wave with a bigger swell. The outer peaks tend to be the best shaped and often produce the longest rides.
