Little Island surf guide

Little Island is a surf spot located near Salmon Beach that offers a short but solid right-hander. It's known for providing some wind protection thanks to the surrounding cliffs, which can be a real lifesaver when other spots are too blown out. The break is often more crowded due to its close proximity to the beach, so be prepared to share the waves.

This spot works best with a south-west swell and a south-east wind. You'll want to catch waves with sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters), and the optimal swell direction is south-west, although it can also handle south and north-west swells. The waves break over an uneven reef, creating fast, bowly sections that can challenge intermediate surfers. It's a good idea to paddle out next to the little island itself and keep an eye on the tide; this spot works across low, mid, and high tides.

For a fun session, make sure to check the conditions before you head out. With the right combination of swell and wind, Little Island can provide some enjoyable rides. Just remember to be respectful of other surfers in the water, as it can get pretty busy out there.
