Coney Beach is a sandy bay located to the east of the breakwater. It’s a spot that works well on all tides, making it pretty accessible for surfers throughout the day. While it’s not considered a classic surf destination, it can offer some fun sessions, especially when the conditions align. There’s a beachfront carpark and additional parking available on the Promenade, so getting there is straightforward.

The surf here can vary quite a bit. When the conditions are just right, you might catch a nice low tide right-hander that the locals call The Superbank — though it’s more of a joke than anything else. You’ll usually find a series of peaks popping up as the tide pushes in, with wave heights ranging from about 1 meter (3ft) to 2.4 meters (8ft). The waves can break in both directions, left and right, over a sandy bottom. It’s best to surf when the swell comes from the Southwest, West, or West-Southwest and when the wind is coming from the North or North-Northwest. Beginners and intermediates can both find rides here, so it’s a good place to practice. Just keep in mind that it does handle big swells and you might face some strong rips, especially during low tide.

The crowd can get pretty busy, as it’s a popular spot, so expect to share the waves with others. Locals are generally tolerant as long as you respect the lineup. The main surfing season runs from December to February, but it’s suitable for various board types including shortboards, fish, funboards, longboards, SUPs, and bodyboards. Always check the conditions before heading out, especially after heavy rains, as they can impact the vibe in the water.
