Ocean Cape surf guide

Ocean Cape is located at the western tip of the peninsula, known for its rocky bars and dynamic surf scene. The area often faces strong winds, which can lead to messy conditions most of the time. However, when the swell and wind calm down, it can offer some enjoyable rides for those who know what they’re doing.

This spot has an optimal swell direction coming from the Southwest, but it also handles swells coming from the South and West. It can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters), which is pretty decent for a good session. Waves at Ocean Cape tend to break over boulders and sand, providing a mix of beach breaks. Surfers can expect both lefts and sneaky rights when conditions are right. The best winds for surfing here come from the East, and you can catch waves during low, mid, or high tide. Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers due to the power of the waves and tricky conditions.

It’s important to note that the rocky environment can make it a bit challenging and not ideal for beginners. Those looking to surf at Ocean Cape should be prepared for the rips and the generally powerful nature of the surf. Make sure you’re aware of your skill level before heading out.
