Westport-Union Landing is a remote beach break along the northern Mendocino coast, receiving consistent W and NW swells in an isolated, undeveloped setting. The sandy bottom can produce fun peaks, but the cold water, complete lack of safety infrastructure, and powerful NorCal conditions make this unsuitable for inexperienced surfers. A quiet escape for intermediate-plus surfers exploring the wild northern coast.
