About Eureka, California

Humboldt County
Coastal Region
North Coast
Coastal Setting
A cool, exposed coastal region surrounding Humboldt Bay

Eureka sits on Humboldt Bay, with open-ocean beaches and barrier spits nearby. The bay itself is protected, while the outer coast is exposed to North Pacific swell, strong seasonal wind and cold water.

Seasonal pattern: Water remains cold year-round. Winter storms can produce large swell, while spring and summer often bring northwest wind and coastal upwelling.
