Clam Beach

Clam Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Fort Ross, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE and SSE to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 31% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
