Cap Sim surf guide

Cap Sim is a remote surf spot where experienced surfers can find some good waves. It's not the easiest place to get to, but if you're up for an adventure, it can be worth the effort. The area has no facilities, so be prepared to rough it a bit. Expect a bumpy, off-road drive followed by a long walk to reach the surf points. Keep your wits about you, as localism can be an issue, and there are reports of theft in the area.

This spot generally works best with a north-west swell direction and can also handle south-west and north swells. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, creating a mix of point breaks that can deliver decent rides. You can expect the swell to be good when it gets to around 2 feet (0.6 meters), and mid-tide is often the sweet spot for catching the best waves here. The preferred wind direction is east, making for clean conditions on your ride. It's mainly suited for intermediate surfers who are looking to challenge themselves.

When you're at Cap Sim, be ready for varied surf conditions thanks to the different sections of the break. It's a spot that attracts a certain crowd, so you might want to keep an eye out for other surfers around. This place can be a little bit of a mixed bag, so go in with realistic expectations and enjoy the unique character of the waves.
