The Ranch – Drake's Point surf guide

The Ranch – Drake's Point is a surf spot located in a less crowded area, making it a good option for surfers looking for a more relaxed vibe. It's not the most famous spot out there, but it does have its own charm and can be enjoyable on the right day. This place is known for a mix of natural features, including boulders and sandy areas, which can add some variety to the surfing experience.

When it comes to surfing, The Ranch works best with swell coming from the SouthWest and NorthWest. You can expect good rides when the waves are around 3 feet (about 1 meter), and it’s usually a point break that offers right-hand waves. If you're planning a session, keep an eye on the wind; north winds are ideal here. Low to mid-tide heights are where it performs best, so timing your visit with the tides can help you catch better waves.

As for other surf-related info, this spot is fairly forgiving for intermediate surfers, but because it breaks over boulders and sand, it’s a smart idea to check the conditions before paddling out. Crowds can be manageable thanks to its location, but be mindful of local surfers. When it's working, The Ranch can definitely provide some fun sessions – just don't expect it to be as epic as some of the bigger spots out there.
