Secret Spot surf guide

Secret Spot is a popular surfing destination known for its unique setup and varied waves. Located in a cozy bay, this spot offers a mix of lefts and rights that cater to surfers looking for something a bit different. Though not the most consistent wave on this stretch, it still has its moments, especially when the conditions align just right. The spot is generally manageable for most abilities, making it a decent place for those still learning the ropes.

The surf here works best with south to southwest swells and can handle sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). Both the left and right waves break over an uneven reef, delivering some solid, punchy sections. You’ll notice that the performance walls are strongest when the swells come from the south, southwest, or northwest. Peak conditions often happen during low to mid tide, but you can catch some fun waves even at high tide, especially with northeast winds to help shape the swell. Just keep in mind that due to the reef, wipeouts can be a bit risky.

For those heading to Secret Spot, it’s good to know that while it has some quality waves, it can also have its off days. So, it’s always smart to check the swell and wind forecasts before you paddle out. Enjoy the session and stay aware of the reef while you’re out there!
