Scott Creek Surf Guide
Scott's Creek is a right reef that breaks anywhere from two feet to 20, mostly in the winter. It can get big and burly, and the place will roll you to within an inch of your life if you screw up. The reef on the north end of the beach is the main attraction, but during the winter, the creek and the moving sand can create sandbars all up and down the beach. Scott's Creek also gets a lot of wind, so if you see sails, you probably won't be surfing.
