Presleys Bay surf guide

Presleys Bay is a surf spot located on a smaller beach that wraps around a rocky headland. It’s not one of the busiest surf locations, but it does have its own appeal. The vibe here is pretty laid-back, and you can often find a few fellow surfers enjoying the waves. The bay can offer some decent surf on the right day, especially during the small clean Southeast swells.

The waves here break over an uneven reef and sand, with beachbreak peaks that can offer both left and right rides. It's best suited for those with an intermediate skill level. The optimal swell direction is Southeast, but it can also handle swells from the Northeast and South. For those looking to surf, the spot works well with swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The preferable wind direction is from the West, and it can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide. While it’s not the most talked-about spot, you might find some longer rights if you hit it at the right moment.

Beyond the surf, there are some rondavels and camps located up the hill, offering decent places to stay if you want to extend your visit. Just keep in mind that this is not a high-profile surf destination, but it can still provide some enjoyable sessions when conditions align.
