Terrain Map of California
 Map showing California

We've decided to go about listing all the good California surf spots.

We've listed them by region and have created a surf spot map for each region, in order to speed up page load time.

As we create pages about each individual spot, we'll link them.

Clicking any of the blue links below  a regional map will take you to a page about that individual surf spot.

If the particular wave you are interested in is not yet visible as an active link, or not listed ....and you think you can share some local knowledge about it ....go ahead and add the California surf spot to our database.

Add your own information about the wave and any photographs or epic video footage you may have!

 Go here to see how to do this.
