Shipwrecks/Freighters surf guide

Shipwrecks/Freighters is a surf spot that offers a mix of mellow rights and some unique scenery, thanks to the shipwreck that sits in the lineup. It's best suited for when there's a wrapping NW swell, and it can handle swell sizes up to 4ft (about 1.2 meters). The area is accessible, making it a suitable choice for improvers and intermediates looking to catch some waves.

The wave breaks over boulders and sand, primarily offering point breaks with right-hand waves. While it can handle sizes well, be aware that the presence of the ship in the lineup might shorten the rides a bit. For the best experience, aim for a low to mid tide, and keep in mind that NE winds work best here. There are also some other reef options nearby that can help you avoid the crowds often found due to the surf camp in the area.

Besides the main break, you can find various other point, reef, and beachbreak options close by. This makes Shipwrecks/Freighters a pretty good spot to explore different surf experiences without having to travel too far.
