About Pacifica
Pacifica features a diverse array of coastal environments, spanning Linda Mar Beach, Rockaway Beach, and the northern approach toward the world-famous big-wave break at Mavericks Beach. Linda Mar is a major Bay Area surfing hub with wave conditions for all levels, while Rockaway Beach offers dramatic headlands, heavy shorebreak, and rich tide pooling along its northern rocky points. Tracking tide predictions is vital for a safe visit to Pacifica; low tide is necessary to safely explore the tide pools at Rockaway Beach and the exposed reefs near Mavericks, while high tides at Rockaway and Linda Mar compress the beach area and intensify wave impact against the shore.
