Santa Cruz Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Good surf today as slow easing, excellent direction SW swell trends down. Fairly light winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Long period SW swell starts to lose some gas, although still plenty of shoulder high to a foot+ overhead range surf. Waves ease a bit through the back half of the day. Light+ SSW winds. Best tide in the evening.

Cowells Surf Guide
Cowell's Beach is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf. All the energy pulsing around Lighthouse Point mellows out by the time it gets to Cowell's, and the result is a long, gentle, easy wave that breaks for a very long time. Cowell's is one of the most crowded surf spots in Santa Cruz, but as most of the surfers are beginners, there is little animosity. Most of the people at Cowell's are there to learn and have fun and have a good time.
