Ledges surf guide

Ledges is a surf spot located on the northern side of Hatchet Bay. It's known for its long, workable lefts that attract surfers looking for a fun ride. While it might not be the most famous spot around, it has its loyal following among those familiar with the area.

The best conditions at Ledges come from a northern swell, and it can handle wave sizes up to around 4 ft (1.2 meters). The waves break over live coral, providing a unique surfing experience. The preferred wind direction is from the southwest, which helps clean up the waves and make them more enjoyable. While the waves are mostly lefts, the spot can accommodate surfers of expert-level skills. It’s good to note that the tide can vary from low to high, but it works well across that range.

Since the closure of the nearby chicken processing factory, there have been fewer shark sightings, making it a bit more comfortable for surfers. So if you're in the area and looking for a challenge, Ledges might be worth checking out.
