Dum Dums is a shallow, right-hand reef off Crampton Island that turns fast and hollow when everything lines up. It breaks over an uneven mix of reef and sand, with a great bush backdrop behind the lineup.
When It Works
The reef draws swell from northeast through southeast, with southeast (SE) swell the best match. It's a consistent setup that switches on when the sandbanks, a small northeast-to-southeast swell, and the right tide come together. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft.
Wind and Tide
Look for a northwest (NW) offshore wind to groom it. The reef breaks on mid and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is an expert-level wave that rewards confident reef surfers. Expect a moderate, mellow lineup when it's on.
Access
There's camping nearby and a car park with free parking.
