Congo Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Congo is a consistent beach break that breaks over sand and peels both left and right. It picks up plenty of swell across some solid sandbars, and the reef out at The Suck holds serious barrels when it turns on. Sharks are part of the deal here.

When It Works

The banks draw swell from northeast through east-southeast to south (NE-ESE-S), with northeast swell the best match. It works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 3 m / 10 ft, and being a consistent spot there's usually something to ride.

Wind and Tide

Look for west offshore wind. Congo can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

The mellow beach-break peaks make this a friendly place for beginners to find a wave. Expect a moderately busy lineup when it's working.

Access

There's camping on hand if you want to stay close to the surf, plus a car park with free parking and roadside parking nearby.
