Sandbox surf guide

Sandbox is a beachbreak located right in front of some restaurants along the coast. It’s a spot that can offer some fun waves, especially during the summer. The best conditions are typically found during mid tides, and it's known for handling smaller, peaky swells. While it won’t blow your mind, it’s a decent choice if you’re looking for a casual surf session.

The surf here works best with a southwest swell, but it can also handle northwesterly swells. The ideal swell size is around 1ft (0.3 meters), which means you can catch some laid-back waves. The beachbreak offers both left and right-hand waves, making it accessible for all types of surfers. For wind conditions, an east wind is preferable. If you're planning your surf time, aim for low to mid tide for the best results.

Also, it's good to know that the waves break over sand, which can be friendly for your board and less intimidating for beginners. So, if you’re in the area and the conditions are right, give Sandbox a shot. It might just surprise you.
