Black Sand Beach is a unique surf spot located in Mele Bay. It's known for its striking black sand and is a popular spot among beginners looking to catch some waves. The beach offers a casual vibe and is a place where surfers can enjoy the beauty of the surroundings while getting some time on the water. However, don’t expect consistent waves, as conditions can be hit or miss depending on the swell. The spot works best with specific swell directions, making it important to check the forecast before heading out.

The surf at Black Sand Beach is suitable mainly for beginners, especially on rare big swells that bring mediocre waves. When it does work, the optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, and it can handle swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). You'll find waves both left and right, breaking over sand, but they aren’t always reliable. A strong SE-SW swell is needed to get the waves rolling in, and the best time to surf here is during low, mid, or high tides, with preferable wind coming from the NorthEast.

If you're planning to hit the waves at Black Sand Beach, it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for other surfers, as it can get busy during peak times. The beach can be a fun place to practice your skills, but don’t go expecting world-class surf. It's a good spot to learn and have a chill day on the water.
