Murphys surf guide

Murphys is a popular surf spot located not far from the point, making it easily accessible for surfers looking to catch some waves. It's known for its beachbreak and reef setups, giving surfers a good range of options depending on the conditions. The spot can get crowded at times, especially since it attracts both locals and visitors eager to enjoy the surf.

The most reliable waves here are found at Murphys reef and the sand peak. You can expect punchy and hollow lefts, which are great when the swell is in. The optimal swell direction is Southeast, but it also works with swells coming from the East and Southwest. Murphys can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters) and has both reef and sand breaks. Surfers can ride both left and right waves here. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and if you're fishing for those favorable conditions, a NorthWest wind tends to work best. This spot is better suited for intermediate surfers due to its punchy nature.

If you're exploring around, there's more beachbreak and reefs to discover closer to Brenton-on-Sea. So if Murphys is feeling crowded or not quite right, don't hesitate to check out those nearby spots.
