Eastern Beach is located in central East London and offers a mix of surf conditions that can vary quite a bit. The beach features shifting sandbars, which means that the quality of the surf can be inconsistent. However, when the winds are from the north and the summer northeast swells roll in, it can be a decent spot to grab a wave. Plus, there’s the Sugar Shack Backpacker nearby for those needing a place to stay.

This beach handles swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 m), and it’s best suited for beginners looking to practice their skills. The ideal swell direction is northeast, although it can also pick up some southwest swells. Waves break over the sand, and surfers can find both left and right-breaking waves. If you’re planning to surf here, it’s good to know that northwesterly winds are preferred and it works best during low, mid, and high tides.

With general facilities available, Eastern Beach is a practical option for those wanting to hit the waves without too much hassle. It's a great spot for beginners to learn and get comfortable in the water, especially when the conditions align just right.
