Copa surf guide

Copa is a well-known surf spot in Bull Bay, recognized as a hub for the local surfing community. Located near the Jamnesia guest-house, it often attracts a solid group of surfers looking to ride its waves. The atmosphere can range from mellow to a bit more intense depending on the crowd, so it's good to be aware of who’s out in the water.

This spot offers a solid right reef break that can accommodate all sizes, from 4 feet (1.2 meters) up to 20 feet (6 meters) on hurricane swells. The reef sets up a flat takeoff area, while a sandbar forms on the east side, creating some of the best waves on the south coast. On good days, you can expect rides of 50-100 yards, especially when the south-east swells are firing. Ideal wind comes from the north, and the waves work well on low to mid to high tides. Copa is a prime location for intermediate surfers, with the wave direction favoring rights over rock and sand edges.

Access is easy, as you can park right by the area. While it can get crowded, the vibe is generally low-key, making it inviting for all kinds of surfers. Just be sure to keep an eye on the reef, as it can present hazards if you’re not cautious. The best seasons to hit Copa are from November to March and again in August to September. It’s a solid option for anyone looking to sharpen their skills or enjoy some fun surf.
