A small, sheltered reef/jetty in Capitola Village that serves up punchy, longboard-friendly rights and a steeper left when a southerly groundswell lines up. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Capitola Jetty in California.
Forecast
As of:
The jetty and nearby rocks funnel energy into two main peaks-one longer right and a steeper left-so expect shifting primary peaks and some rocky takeoff zones that punish sloppy paddling.
Locally it cleans up with northerly to north-northwest offshore breezes.
The spot responds best to southerly/SSW groundswells (longer period) at mid-tide, while strong low tides expose rocks and increase hazard consequence.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
