Wye River surf guide

Wye River is a surf spot that combines both a relaxed vibe and some beach break options. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a less crowded place to ride some waves. The area is pretty laid-back, making it great for surfers who are still figuring things out. It also offers a nice view of the beach, plus there are some campground options available if you want to chill by the coast.

The surf here has its ups and downs. The optimal swell direction is from the south, and it works well with swell sizes around 4ft (about 1.2 meters). You can catch both left and right waves over sand, making it suitable for beginners. The best conditions are usually seen at low to mid tides. When the wind is blowing from the northwest, that’s when you can expect the waves to shape up better, though they can still close out at times. Unfortunately, Baldy, the right-hand point, has lost some of its trademark sand, so it may not be as good as it used to be.

This spot is an excellent place for those looking to improve their surf skills, with a friendly local scene. Whether you're just starting out or looking to practice, you'll find a place for yourself at Wye River.
