Rio Del Mar Beach

Rio Del Mar Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Seacliff, California, United States. It picks up swell from S to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 64% 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.
