Central California Regional Overview
This stretch of coast is incredibly diverse, ranging from the big city surfing experience of San Francisco to the wilds of the San Mateo coast to the thriving surf scene of Santa Cruz to the luxury golf-course-lined reef breaks of Carmel to the mysterious Central Coast with its reputation for some serious local aggression. Though it's not nearly as famous a surf destination as Southern California -- the cradle of the world surf industry -- Central California is a very surfed place. Though in stark contrast with its flashy southern neighbor, Central Cal is the home of the black wetsuit and logo-free surfboard. This is neither the place to take big NW swells casually or to yell at a local for paddle-battling you for a wave. Mind your P's and Q's ... you're a visitor. | Related Videos: |  | SOUTH SWELL FOR CENTRAL CAL 3
