Widemouth Bay surfspot characteristics

More about Widemouth Bay surfspot

Long, stretch of average beachbreak and reef peaks including Salthouse, Camel Rock and Black Rock. Each spot has its tidal nuance, but there is always something to ride. It’s consistent, crowded and a surf school favourite.

General: Widemouth Bay is essentially two stretches of sand that become one long beach as the tide drops out. Black Rock is a large patch of reef on the southern end and Camel Rock is a large patch of reef to the north. Both can produce quality waves, with long lefts and rights. The beach is pretty consistent with good banks and works through the tides. Will be busy when good. Tides: Works through the tides. Size: Waist high to head and a half. Wind: E, SE Swell: W, WSW Bottom: Sand with large expanses of reef and occasional fingers of rock. Paddling: OK when small. Spot Rating: Popular spot that can produce excellent peaks and long walls in a clean swell.

Good for all especially when small. Beginners stick to beach which is learner friendly.

There are two car parks, one at the northern and one at the southern end.

September - October is the golden time.

Crowd Factor: Reefs get busy when good. Beach popular in summer. Local Vibe: Competitive on reefs.

Some localism when the reefs are working. There are a few rocks scattered about and some stormwater outflow. Ample pay parking in two beach car parks and plenty of facilities.

Good.
