Clean Ocean Action (COA) is excited to host its Annual Surf Open on Saturday, September 26, 2026, and invites you to help raise funds for ocean protection!

We are thrilled that the contest has become a shore tradition! It’s a spectacular success and helps raise vital funds for COA’s year-round programs to protect our ocean and beaches.

The Surf Open has provided fun in the sun for over 90 competitors of all skill levels from age 5 to 75, hundreds of spectators, business owners, environmental advocates, and surf enthusiasts. Plus, “fun in the sun” beach activities for children are also a hit for families enjoying the event.
