Horseshoe Bay surf guide

Horseshoe Bay is a popular surf spot located alongside a scenic beach. This spot often attracts surfers looking for a fun session, especially when conditions align just right. With beautiful coastlines and a welcoming vibe, it’s a place where both locals and visitors come to catch some waves.

The surf at Horseshoe Bay thrives best with an East or NorthEast swell. It can handle swell sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and is known to perform well on low to mid tides. The waves break over a mix of boulders and sand, creating right-hand point breaks that are great for intermediate surfers. When the wind is coming from the SouthWest, conditions can really shape up, giving you some enjoyable rides.

If you’re planning a trip, keep in mind that while the waves can be fun and playful, it’s a spot better suited for surfers with some experience. The setup here has its days where it shines, so checking the swell forecast can help you find the best times to hit the water.
