It's that time of year once more; time for the biggest and most widely recognized surf contest in Santa Cruz. Yes, the Cold Water Classic is about to come to a lighthouse point near you.

The event runs from November 2 to November 8, at Steamer Lane. The special ambassador this year will be Jason Collins, a local Santa Cruz waverider of some fame and a nickname of Ratboy.

Past years contests have seen conditions of all extremes; raging rainstorms, howling winds, damp chilly fog, flat ocean, and yes sometimes epic waves. Let's hope for good surf this time around. For more information, visit the O'Neill website about the event. A map of Lighthouse Point is shown below.
