Spot Guide
Patricks Point is a raw and rugged surf spot on the Northern California coast near Trinidad, where powerful Pacific swells wrap around a rocky headland to produce heavy, unpredictable waves. The break faces ESE, meaning northwest groundswells wrap into the point with serious force, delivering punchy and often hollow rides over a rocky bottom in a strikingly wild setting surrounded by old-growth coastal forest. This spot rewards experienced surfers willing to make the trek to one of Northern California's most remote and scenic stretches of coastline.
