California Surfing Day

Join Visit California in celebrating the state’s famed surf culture every year on Sept. 20. This annual celebration highlights a range of activities from surf competitions to community events and is supported with engaging influencer content — all designed to engage residents and attract visitors.

Inland destinations can also get their surf on! Previous events have included activations like the Freshwater Pro at Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, showcasing how even non-coastal areas can participate in and benefit from the state’s surf culture.
