Wild Dunes surf guide

Wild Dunes is a wide, flat beach located at the northern end of the island, primarily known for its accessibility to surfers looking for a fun session. It breaks pretty much on any swell, and you can expect a mix of beach breaks that cater to all levels of surfers. The area is part of a resort, so access can be a bit tricky; just let them know you're dining at the restaurant to get in.

This spot usually works best with swell coming from the East, East-Southeast, Southeast, and South-Southeast. It handles swell sizes from 3 to 6 feet (about 1 to 2 meters). The waves tend to break over sand, providing both right and lefts that are great for beginners, intermediates, and experts alike. Mid to high tides are the way to go, and you’ll want winds from the West-Northwest, Northwest, or North-Northwest for the best conditions. While you can find scattered peaks, it’s common to see some pretty mellow days, making it a solid choice for most surf trips.

When it comes to the crowd factor, you can expect it to be pretty light, so there’s usually enough room for everyone to catch a few waves without too much hassle. Autumn is considered a good season to hit Wild Dunes, where you can use a variety of board types including shortboards, funboards, longboards, fish, and SUPs. Just keep an eye out for miscellaneous sea creatures, which can sometimes pop up in the lineup.
