Mussels is a reef break located a few hundred meters south from a popular surf area. This spot primarily works when the swells are on the larger side, so make sure to check the forecast before heading out. It can get crowded during good conditions, but it still offers a unique experience for surfers looking for something different.
The waves at Mussels come in from the south and southwest, breaking over an uneven reef. You’ll find both left and right waves, which makes it a bit versatile. It’s best to surf here during low to mid tides, but you can still catch decent waves at high tide. For optimal conditions, aim for a northeast wind, which helps shape the waves nicely.
This spot isn't for beginners, as the reef can be tricky, but if you’re an experienced surfer, it can be a fun challenge. Just make sure to keep an eye on the swell size, as it’s only worth it when the swell is pumping. Enjoy your time out there!
