Trailer Park is a unique surf spot that fits right into the laid-back vibe of nearby breaks like Ditch Plains and Poles. It offers a mix of crumbly waves that suit both longboarders and those riding more buoyant boards. When the swell is around the medium range and higher, it tends to catch some of the overflow from Ditch Plains, giving surfers an alternative when that spot is crowded.
The surf here can peak at waist high to well overhead (about 1 to 2.5 meters) and works best with swells coming from the east to southeast. The waves break over sand and rock, with some boulders scattered about. This can make for a bit of a tricky paddle, especially with the moderate currents, so be prepared to put in some effort, though it's generally easier on smaller days. While the waves can be a bit crumbly, they're still rideable and can offer decent sessions for intermediate and expert surfers. The wind from the northwest is usually ideal, especially during mid to high tides.
Accessibility is straightforward, so getting to Trailer Park isn’t a hassle. Crowds can range from mellow to moderate, making it a friendly spot for those looking to escape the busier places. Just keep in mind the rocks scattered around—watch your step out there! Optimal surfing seasons are from September through March, so that’s when you’ll find the best conditions.
