Meters surf guide

Meters is a beachbreak located just south of Casino Pier. It's a popular spot, especially during the summer, attracting a lot of surfers due to the good waves and the lively atmosphere. The beach has metered parking, so be prepared to pay if you want to hang out here for a while. This is a designated surfing beach, so you'll need to have a surfing tag, and there’s a fee if you want to use the restrooms or showers.

The surf at Meters can be pretty fun, especially when the swell is around 2ft. (0.6m). The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it can also handle swells coming from the northeast and south. When conditions are right, you'll find nice, steep workable walls and even some barrels. Most waves break to the right over sand, making it a decent spot for beginners to practice. For the best experience, low to mid-tide works well, but keep in mind that high tide can really kill the vibe when the swell is small.

Since this place can get pretty crowded, especially during peak times in summer, it's a good idea to arrive early to snag a spot in the lineup. The waves here are generally friendly and beginner-friendly, making it a good choice if you're looking to improve your skills. Just be aware that the popular nature of Meters means you might have to share the water with a lot of other surfers.
