Machine is a surf spot that can be a bit hit or miss, but it's worth checking out if you’re in the area. It offers a winding right-hand wave that tends to be best when the tide is coming in. The spot can handle smaller swells, so even if the conditions aren't perfect, you might still find some fun rides.

The ideal swell direction is SouthEast, and it can pick up swells from 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up. The waves break over dead coral, creating a reef setup that can produce some solid rides for intermediate surfers. The preferred wind direction is from the west, which tends to help shape the waves nicely. You can surf here during low, mid, or high tides, giving you some flexibility on when to hit the water.

Be aware that there can be strong rips when the tide is incoming, so it’s important to keep an eye on conditions while you’re out there. Overall, Machine might not be the best spot around, but it can offer some decent waves under the right circumstances.
