Miramar is a surf spot known for its unique setup with a reef break that attracts surfers looking for a solid ride. Located just off the coast, it features an island which can sometimes create an interesting lineup. The vibe here tends to be laid-back, with surfers coming and going in pursuit of decent waves. It's not the most famous spot out there, but it has its moments and can deliver some fun sessions.

The waves at Miramar work best with northwest swell, although it can handle south-west as well. You'll find that it breaks over uneven reef, typically offering right-hand waves. The spot is best suited for intermediate surfers, especially with swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). A mid-tide is preferred for the best conditions, and if the wind is coming from the east, you’re likely to find some cleaner lines. While it can produce hollow, fast waves on good days, you might not experience this all the time, so be prepared for a range of conditions.

One unique aspect of surfing at Miramar is how the stream deposits fluorescent red water into the lineup, which can be a talking point among surfers. It helps control the crowd, but it can also affect visibility in the water. Be aware that while the spot can be enjoyable, it also requires experience to navigate the reef and varying wave conditions.
