Blind Creek Park is a surf spot located on South Hutchinson Island, known for its unique surfing conditions. The area features a range of surf options, especially during the right tide and swells. It’s not the busiest spot around, making it a good option if you’re looking to avoid the crowds.
The surf here can be decent, especially when there's a good swell coming from the NE. When conditions line up, you can expect waves in the head-over-head size range (about 1.2 to 2.4 meters). The waves break over a mix of sand and reef, with both left and right options available. It's best to hit it during high tide, as the lower tides can result in mushy waves. The ideal winds are from the SSW to WNW, and you’ll definitely need to paddle out to catch the good ones. Don’t forget that this spot requires some decent swell, handling sizes from about 1.2 meters to 3.7 meters (4ft to 12ft), so keep an eye on the forecast!
Accessing Blind Creek Park is straightforward; just park and head to the beach. Because the crowd factor is minimal, you’ll likely have some space to work with. The local vibe is casual, with no real sense of competition here. This place shines especially in the fall and spring, but can also pick up decent waves during hurricane season. Bring your shortboard, funboard, or longboard, and don’t forget to check out the conditions before you head in!
