Rat Shit is a surf spot that offers a mix of waves primarily during the winter season. While it can be fun at times, don't expect it to be the best place around. Surfing here can get crowded, especially when the conditions are right. Access to the spot is pretty straightforward, using a path next to the Roessler Swim Club.

The surf at Rat Shit works best with northwest swells and during low tide. It can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters), making it suitable for intermediate surfers looking for some action. You can catch both left and right waves, and the break is made up of reef and sand over a rock ledge. The optimal swell direction is west, but it can also work with southwest and northwestern swells. For the best experience, the wind direction should be southeast, so check the forecast before heading out.

While you're there, keep in mind that the crowd factor can be a bit of a downside. It’s a popular spot, so you might have to share the waves. Since it caters more to an intermediate level, make sure you're comfortable with the conditions before paddling out.
