Little Talbot Island surf guide

Little Talbot Island is tucked away in Little Talbot Island State Park, and it’s a pretty nice spot for surfers looking to catch some waves. You’ll need to pay a small entrance fee of $3.25 to get into the park, but once you’re in, you'll find a long stretch of beach that feels pretty untouched. The setting is scenic and inviting, making it a popular hangout for surfers and beach-goers alike.

The surf here works best at low tide and can handle a good range of swell directions, with north, south, and especially northeast being optimal. You can find waves that break both left and right over sandy bottoms, which isn’t too common. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), and there’s usually a better left that tends to be bigger and more powerful if you take a walk to the north. It’s a good choice for beginners to learn on, especially when the wind is coming from the southwest, which helps shape the waves nicely.

Besides the surf, you can expect to see plenty of sea life around, which adds to the natural charm of the area. Just keep in mind that it can get crowded, especially during nice weather, so be prepared to share the waves. Overall, Little Talbot Island is a solid option if you’re looking for a fun day of surfing in a beautiful location.
