Pigsty/Piggy surf guide

Pigsty, also known as Piggy, is situated in the Jaeren area and is one of the few surf spots here that can be considered decent. While it does attract some attention, especially in the winter, it’s worth noting that it can be pretty average at times. If you're looking to score some waves without heading to more famous locations, this might be a place to check out, just be aware that it can get crowded quickly.

The surf here works best with a Northwest swell and handles swell sizes of around 1 meter (3 feet). The waves break over boulders, creating mainly right-hand waves that can offer some barrel sections, but you’ll also find some lefts. The ideal conditions come with East winds and it can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide. This spot suits intermediate surfers, so if you're still learning, you may want to consider your skill level before paddling out.

For camping, Bore Strand Camping is just a short 5-minute drive away, making it a convenient spot to set up for your surf sessions. Just remember the significant surfing ban due to bird protection; it’s essential to respect this rule since the penalties can be pretty severe. So, while you enjoy your time at Pigsty, keep an eye on the regulations to avoid any nasty fines or legal troubles.
