USA Santa Cruz Steamer Lane Surfing
One of the best surfing spots in Northern California. Typically very good to professional surfers use this spot. Very consistent waves. Best in Winter and early Spring. Up to 20ft (6 m) waves.
Photography Tips
Bring your longest lens. A zoom is helpful, as the surfers get closer as they ride. Walk out to the point for a different angle (and surfers)
