New Break is a surf spot that many locals know about but isn't always packed with surfers. It’s located in a spot where you'll find a mix of wave conditions, and while it can be fun, it's not the best on every day. The general vibe here is chill, but it does attract surfers looking for a session when the conditions align.

The waves at New Break break mostly to the right and are primarily reef waves. You can expect optimal swell from the west, with workable swells coming from the southwest and northwest. It handles swell sizes starting from around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters), but it’s best when it’s low to mid tide. If the wind is blowing from the east, it tends to clean things up a bit, making for a better experience out in the water.

If you're thinking about hitting New Break, be aware it's mostly a spot for more experienced surfers since the rocky ledges can be tricky. It's a good idea to check the conditions before heading out and to respect the lineup, as it can get crowded when the waves are good. Bring your gear and be ready for some fun, but don't expect it to be perfect every time.
