About Crescent City, California

Coastal Region
Far North Coast
Coastal Setting
A rugged far-northern coastline with headlands, beaches and harbor protection

Crescent City lies near California’s northern border on a rugged coast of headlands, beaches and protected harbor water. The outer coast is strongly exposed to North Pacific swell and weather, while local shoreline orientation can create sheltered pockets.

Seasonal pattern: Water is cold year-round. Winter brings the greatest potential for large Pacific swell, while summer often has smaller waves but persistent northwest wind and cool upwelled water.
