Caravan Park surf guide

Caravan Park is located at the north end of Lambert’s Bay, right in front of the rivermouth. This spot has a natural harbor created by a breakwater extending out to Bird Island, which is home to lots of wildlife like penguins and cormorants. The area generally offers a laid-back vibe, perfect for surfers looking for a casual session.

The surf here is mostly a mushy beach break, with waves favoring the rights and lefts. The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it can also handle swells coming from the southwest. The spot works best with swell sizes of about 1ft (0.3 meters), breaking over sand as well as a rock ledge. For those new to the surf scene, this place is ideal, as it caters well to beginners. Low to mid tide heights are preferable, and if you get an east wind, you might find some decent conditions to ride.

Overall, while Caravan Park can be consistent, it might not blow you away with excitement. It’s a good spot to practice if you’re still getting the hang of things, but seasoned surfers might find it a bit lacking in challenge.
