Caravans surf guide

Caravans is a surf spot that sits right at the rivermouth, perfect for those looking to ride when the waves at nearby Westport are too big. It’s often overlooked and has a laid-back vibe, with a caravan park nearby offering some basic facilities for surfers. This spot can be a good alternative if you're searching for less crowded waves.

The surf here can be a bit fickle, especially on the right-hand side of the rivermouth. You’ll find a shorter, hollower left wave, but the right is usually the main draw. It works best with swells coming from the West or Northwest and handles sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The optimal conditions typically happen on a low to mid tide, especially when the wind blows from the East, which helps shape the waves better as they break over the uneven reef and sand.

When you're planning your surf session, keep in mind that Caravans can be a good spot when the conditions are right. Since it’s right at the rivermouth, the setup can change a lot depending on tide and swell. It’s a good idea to check the beach often to find the best waves, and don’t expect consistency like at some other popular spots. The atmosphere is usually relaxed, making it a nice place to hang out with other surfers.
