Graveyards - East Cape surf guide

Graveyards is a surf spot located in the East Cape area, near Cintsa. It's a right-hand point break that can be a little fickle, reacting best to specific swell and wind conditions. Crowds can vary, but it's usually not too packed, making it a decent spot to catch some waves.

This place works well with wrapping southwest swells, while the ideal wind direction is from the west. The break can manage swell sizes around 2 to 6 feet (about 0.6 to 1.8 meters), allowing for some fun rides if conditions align. It handles multiple swell directions, especially from the southeast and southwest. The waves generally roll over a rock ledge, which can add some punch to the ride. For the best results, you're looking at low to mid tide, but it can also work on high tide. Intermediate surfers will find it suitable, but beginners might want to navigate carefully given the wave nature.

Occasionally, the beach break may offer some below-average banks during late summer when the sand builds up, but it's hit or miss. Always good to check the conditions before paddling out, as the surf can change quite a bit throughout the day.
