Humewood surf guide

Humewood is a surf spot located along Humewood Beach, known for attracting both bodyboarders and surfers. The beach has a laid-back vibe, and while it's not always consistent, on its good days, it delivers some fun waves. The area is primarily sandy, making it a decent choice for good surf with the right conditions. Just keep in mind that it can get crowded, especially when the swell picks up.

The surf breaks at Humewood are predominantly right-hand waves that work best with a south-east swell. You'll find that it can handle swell sizes starting from around 1 ft (0.3 meters), which is pretty accessible for beginners, but it definitely shines for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge. The waves are thicker and have the potential for some nice tubes, particularly when the conditions are on point, meaning you want to look for small to medium south-east swells and south-west winds. You can also catch some action with north-east and south-west swells, especially if they’re big enough. Low, mid, and high tide can all work, so you have some flexibility there.

While surfing at Humewood, be prepared to deal with a few local surfers, as well as lifeguards who might keep a close eye on things. It's all part of the experience, so just be chill and respectful. With the right conditions and mindset, Humewood can be a fun spot for a surf session.
