Library, named after its close location to the oldest library in the world, is known as one of the better beach breaks around Alexandria. It often has consistent waves and can handle some good-sized surf, making it a popular choice for local surfers. It’s a spot where you might see a few other surfers out in the water, adding to the vibe, but it’s not always crowded. Accessing the beach can be a bit tricky, and some areas may charge a small fee, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.

The best time to catch waves at Library is when there's a northwestern swell, which creates optimal conditions. It can handle swell sizes starting from about 0.3 meters (1 ft) and works pretty well with swells coming from the west and north. The waves break over both boulders and sand, giving you a bit of variety. You’ll find plenty of left and right waves, catering to all preferences. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and southeast winds are ideal. This spot is generally suited for intermediate surfers looking to refine their skills or just enjoy some decent rides.

If you’re heading out to Library, be aware that a current flows east, so keep an eye on where you're going. It’s easy to get caught up along the rocky shoreline without a clear way out. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're in the area and looking for a fun session.
