About This Dataset
This dataset provides helpful information about popular surfing spots in California. Each location is identified by longitude and latitude location details. Of particular usefulness is the ability to sort through these spots based on ideal conditions like swell direction, wind direction, tide, wave quality, and more. This allows you to quickly find somewhere that’s working on the current conditions at any given time.
Although there are many great surfing locations in the US, we selected California because of its 840-mile coastline, which provides some of the best breaks in the country. The resulting dataset contains information on spots as far up north as Point St George in Crescent City down to Black’s beach near San Diego. Our team collected and cleaned the data in order to provide the most useful dataset possible.
