A shallow, south-facing Sonoma beachbreak that often peels soft rights and lefts on south/SW groundswell but can throw heavy shorepound when the winter south-swells arrive. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Doran Beach in California.
Forecast
As of:
Expect the cleanest windows with south-SW groundswells and northerly (offshore) winds in late winter-spring.
Inconsistent swell means days can flip from small and mellow to powerful quickly, and crowds grow fast on the first good south swell.
The long, shallow sand bottom and harbor jetty create easy takeoffs but can produce strong shorepound and rips on big sets, so sitters should watch inside-out sets near the harbor mouth.
