Caspar Creek is a small cove located along the coast, featuring a gravelly beach that’s pretty chill for surfers, especially beginners. It typically needs a big swell to really start working, as it’s surrounded by large headlands. You’ll find a few rocks at the southern end, but there’s also a sandy bottom that can sometimes produce some fun peaks for those up for it. The beach can get a bit crowded, especially at the peak and in the limited parking areas.
When it comes to surfing, Caspar Creek handles swell sizes starting at 1ft (about 0.3 meters), which makes it a beginner-friendly spot. It works well with south and north swell directions, and you can catch both left and right waves here. The preferred wind direction is from the east, and the best time to hit the water is during mid tides. The quality of the surf can be decent if the conditions are clean, providing a good option when other spots along the coast are too blown out.
Even though it’s beginner-friendly, you’ll need to be mindful of the crowds, especially on weekends. It’s a good idea to pick your times to avoid the peak surfers, and it can definitely be a fun spot if you’re looking for some mellow rides.
