Palomarin Beach

Palomarin Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Marin County, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to SW and SW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 45% 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.
