The Wharf surf guide

The Wharf, also known as Mission Point, is a surf spot that can be a bit of a trek to reach. The outside reefs tend to break around 1 km from shore, which may make it tricky for some surfers. It's worth noting that the environment here includes a rivermouth that can affect the water quality, and shipping activities are nearby due to the wharf.

This spot really comes into its own with a north swell direction, but it can also handle swells from the northwest and northeast. The best wave heights to aim for are around 2 ft (0.6 m), making it suitable for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge. The waves break over dead coral, providing both left and right rides. If you're planning a session, try to go when the wind is coming from the south, and you can surf at low, mid, or high tides—there's a bit of flexibility there!

Keep in mind that while The Wharf can offer some good rides, it's not always a guaranteed great day. It’s best to check the conditions before heading out. Enjoy the surf!
