Porpoise Bay is a fun beach break that offers surfers a nice experience right at the rivermouth. The vibe here is mellow, making it suitable for a range of skill levels but especially enjoyable for those who are just starting out.

The surf at Porpoise Bay works best with swells coming from the south, including southeast and southwest directions. It can handle swell sizes starting at 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over sand. You’ll find both left and right waves here, giving you options depending on your preference. The waves can be pretty powerful and hollow at times, especially when the conditions are right. The ideal winds come from the west and the spot works across low, mid, and high tides. It’s a great place for beginners to get comfortable in the water.

Another fun fact about Porpoise Bay is that you might spot Hector's dolphins playing around while you're out in the surf. They add a nice touch to the environment and can make your surf session even more enjoyable.
