Freshwater East surf guide

Freshwater East is a surf spot that's known for its fast and hollow waves. It's located where surfers can catch some decent action, especially during winter storms. However, it's important to note that this place can get pretty crowded when the conditions are good, and it's really not suitable for beginners.

The best time to hit Freshwater East is when the swell comes from the southwest, although it can also handle south and west swells. It works well with waves around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over sandy bottoms. You can ride both left and right here, making it a versatile spot for experienced surfers. The wind from the west is ideal, and you can surf here at low, mid, or high tide.

Access is easy since you can park right by the beach. Just be prepared for some competition in the water, as this spot attracts a lot of surfers looking to score some quality waves.
