Mysteries surf guide

Mysteries is the wave located on the northern back beach of Anchor Point. It's a popular spot where surfers gather, especially during the peak winter holiday season when you can find over fifty campervans parked along the cliffs, with license plates from various countries all over Europe, from Poland to Portugal. It’s an easy walk from the nearby spots – Anchor Point is to the south and Killer's is to the north, making it a convenient option for surfers looking to explore the area.

The wave at Mysteries tends to work best on higher tides and is one of the few spots in the area that handles swell from the NW, WNW, and W directions, with sizes ranging from about 1 meter to 2.4 meters (3ft to 8ft). It features a rock shelf reef that can be exposed at the lowest tides, offering a fun, rippable right that’s likened to Lower Trestles, as well as a left that can be a nice break from the usual rights. It's worth checking in the afternoons since the crowd can vary, and with the tide changes, you might find it working unexpectedly. Just be ready to make a quick dash to catch the waves when they roll in.

Accessing the spot is easy; just look for the clusters of campervans on the cliffs, then head down the trails. Once you get to the water, you’ll need to time your jump off the rocks and paddle across to the lineup, which can be a bit tricky depending on the surf size. While beginners often enjoy surfing here, experienced surfers can score some better waves by keeping an eye on their lineup and watching for the right shifts. The spot can get quite crowded, and the local vibe can be a bit annoying at times, especially with inexperienced surfers getting in the way.
