Snake Park is a surf spot located between the shorter solid piers of Snake Park and Battery Beach. It's known for having sand-dependent peaks that can catch some nice swell and wind, offering surfers a more spaced-out vibe compared to other breaks in town. You'll likely find fewer crowds here, making it a decent option when the popular spots get packed.

The best conditions for surfing Snake Park usually come with a south-east swell direction, but it can also pick up swells from the north-east and south-west. This spot handles swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over sand, making it suitable for those looking for a beach setup. The waves can roll both left and right, which adds a bit of variety. For the best experience, aim for a low to mid tide, and keep in mind that it works best with a west wind. This spot is generally good for intermediate surfers, offering enough challenge without being overly difficult.

Paddle-outs at Snake Park can be a bit tougher, with fewer defined rips compared to other spots. It’s worth noting that the vibe here has improved, as localism has shifted more to the New Pier area. So, if you're looking for a chill session with decent waves, Snake Park might just fit the bill.
