South Beach Pavillion surf guide

South Beach Pavilion, often just called The Pavilion, is a well-known surf spot that caters to a range of surfers. This location features both reef and sand-bottom waves, making it versatile for different surf conditions. The optimal swell direction is Southeast, which is when the waves really come to life. Be prepared for a range of surfers out there, especially on days when the Southeast winds blow.

The surf here can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 ft (0.6 m). It offers both left and right breaking waves, giving surfers options depending on their preference. The best wind direction is from the West, and it's worth noting that the spot works well on low, mid, and high tide. For beginners, this area is generally friendly, but keep an eye out for a few rocks that can catch you off guard in the lineup.

If you're looking for more surf adventures, check out the reefs further up at Red Reef Park and Jap Rock. These spots tend to require overhead Northeast swells to really show their quality, especially for those seeking some more challenging waves. South Beach Pavilion is a spot worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for some fun sessions.
