The Wave

When it works, Pescadero prefers W-NW groundswells with light E-ESE winds (offshore) and cleans up on incoming to high tides.

Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.

Lineup Guide

The lineup alternates between wide sandbanks and exposed rock shelves - watch for strong rips and occasional rock-shelf takeoffs near the southern cove that raise consequence on heavier days.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
