Spot Guide
Anderson Beach is a remote Northern California gem located along the rugged Mendocino County coastline, where consistent northwest swells wrap into the cove to produce punchy, hollow beach break peaks. The beach faces roughly eastward in orientation relative to the transect, benefiting from offshore winds that blow from the inland hills and valleys, cleaning up the faces nicely during morning glass sessions. Its isolation along this sparsely populated stretch of the Northern California coast means crowds are rarely an issue, rewarding those willing to make the journey with uncrowded waves.
