About Fort Bragg, California

County
Mendocino County
Coastal Region
North Coast
Coastal Setting
A rugged, rocky and highly exposed North Coast shoreline

Fort Bragg sits on a rugged section of the Mendocino coast with rocky headlands, coves and small beaches facing the open Pacific. The area is highly exposed to North Pacific weather and swell, making period, wave height and wind especially important context.

Seasonal pattern: Water stays cold throughout the year. Winter can bring large storm swell, while spring and summer often bring persistent northwest wind and upwelling.
