Maycocks is a solid surf spot that offers a different vibe compared to the more popular Duppies. It's often less crowded and can be a fun alternative when you want something a bit more relaxed. The spot itself is set in beautiful scenery, which makes for a nice backdrop while you wait for waves. Just keep in mind that it can be tricky to find, so having some directions is a good idea.

The surf here works best with north swell directions, particularly north-west and north-east. You can expect it to handle swells of around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) well, which is suitable for beginners. The waves break over an uneven reef and sand, offering mainly right-handers. Low to mid tide is preferred for the best conditions, and the trades from the east help keep the surf nice and clean. If you happen to hit it on a big wrapping north swell, Maycocks will typically be smaller and more manageable than other spots, making it a cool option for those still building their skills.

If you’re looking for a spot that’s less intense than some others, Maycocks could work for you. It’s got that laid-back vibe, with long, tapering shoulders that are great for practicing. It’s always nice to have somewhere you can surf at a more chill level without the pressure of bigger waves around, especially when conditions are right. Just keep an eye on the tides and enjoy the ride!
