Dum Dums surf guide

Dum Dums is a surf spot located on Crampton Island, known for its shallow reef that can deliver some quick and hollow waves. The spot works best when the combination of sandbanks, a small Northeast to Southeast swell, and the right tide come together. It’s a good spot to hit if you’re looking for something not overly crowded, with a scenic bush backdrop that adds to the vibe.

The surf here tends to favor Southeast swell directions, though it can also handle some Northeast swells. It works well with wave sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef and sand. Most of the waves are right-handers, perfect for those who are more experienced. The ideal conditions come with a Northwest wind and during mid to high tide, making it a much better session if you know what you’re doing.

Dum Dums is generally not for beginners, so make sure you have your skills dialed in before you head out. The setup can be tricky, and the conditions might not always be perfect, but for expert surfers looking for a challenge, it’s definitely a spot worth checking out.
