Marina

Located in Monterey, Marina is a beach break that works year-round, favoring west-northwest swells and east-southeast winds. The waves produce both left and right-handers, making it suitable for beginners. With very consistent surf and minimal crowds, it's a great spot for learning. However, surfers should be cautious of strong rips, undertow, and occasional shark sightings. Water temperatures are cold, requiring a wetsuit.
