San Carpoforo Creek Beach

"Pretty gnarly. Totally epic. Strong ripcurrent and 6-8 foot waves make this an intermediate-advanced spot. In April 2022, my boyfriend and I woke up on the beach. We saw the waves at carpoforo for the first time after arriving late at night to our campsite. “one day, i’m going to surf these” he said. Over 1 year later (with plenty of practice at Doheny) we finally tried it, and it did not disappoint. We surfed, all by ourselves, at sunset. A pod of 10 GIANT bottlenose dolphins joined us, porpoising and diving under us, just feet away. The next morning, waves grew to 7 foot overhead. After just one powerful ride, I needed a break from the relentless rip current that rocked me multiple times. Heard it can get to 20 foot in the winter. We will be back. "
