Ham surf guide

Ham is a surf spot that attracts those looking to tackle some solid waves. It's located at the former harbour, which adds a unique vibe to the area. The spot really shines when there are big northwest swells rolling in, making it a go-to for surfers who enjoy stormy conditions. Access is straightforward from Ham harbour, but be mindful of the layout as it can be a bit tricky in certain areas.

When it comes to surfing at Ham, the optimal swell direction is from the Northwest, and it can also handle swells coming from the West and North. The spot usually works best at mid to high tide, with waves breaking over rocky ledges. Expect the waves to hit around 5 feet (about 1.5 meters), powering through and offering left-hand point breaks that can be pretty challenging. This spot is best suited for expert surfers who can read the waves and navigate the shallow areas.

On a good day, when the swells are just right and the wind is coming from the southwest, you can catch some powerful rides here. So, if you’re up for some serious surfing, pack your gear and head out to Ham when the conditions align!
