North Garbage surf guide

North Garbage is a surf spot that you might want to check out if you're in the area. It's known for its mix of waves and can be a decent place for catching some rides. While it's not the most popular spot around, it can surprise you on the right day. The vibe here is pretty laid-back, so you can just grab your board and enjoy some time in the water without too much fuss.

The surf here works best with swell coming from the SouthWest and NorthWest, handling sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). The waves break over a rocky ledge, providing both left and right options, so there’s a bit of variety depending on your preference. If you're planning your session, aim for low to mid tide for the best conditions. On days when the wind is coming from the East, you'll find the waves are usually cleaner and more enjoyable.

Keep in mind that this spot isn’t always consistent, so you might want to check the forecast before heading out. It's also important to be aware of the rocky bottom, so make sure to watch your step when you're getting in and out of the water. Overall, North Garbage can be worth a visit if you’re looking to mix things up in your surf routine.
