Stonehaven surf guide

Stonehaven is a surf spot that offers a mix of conditions for surfers of different skill levels. Located in a scenic area, it features both a reef and a pebble/sand beach break. The spot is easily accessible, with a convenient paddle out from the rivermouth.

The right-hand reef break at the south end of Stonehaven is the highlight, especially when the swell is coming from the NorthEast. It's best when the swell size is around 2ft (0.6 meters) but can handle larger conditions as well. You can also catch waves during SouthEast swells. The waves break over a rock ledge, so be mindful of your take-offs. For the best experience, aim to surf during low to mid to high tides and make sure the wind is coming from the west.

Stonehaven is set up nicely for a day on the beach with full facilities available in town. The car and caravan park right by the beach make it a good spot for those looking to camp out after a day of surfing. Make sure to check the local forecast for the best conditions!
