Second Beach is located just south of Port St Johns and is known for its mellow vibe. It’s one of those spots where you can find a bit of everything: sandbars, rocky outcrops, and a mixed crowd. While it can sometimes get busy, especially when the surf is calling, don't expect to find perfect waves every time you paddle out. The beach has a laid-back atmosphere, making it a decent spot for surfers of all levels.

The waves here can handle sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters) and can offer lefts and rights, though they aren't always the most well-defined. The best conditions usually come with an east swell direction, but it can also handle swells from the northeast and southwest. When the wind blows from the northwest, you'll find more enjoyable surfing conditions. The spot works well at low, mid, and high tides but is generally beginner-friendly, making it a good choice for those just starting out.

Since Second Beach gets some consistent waves, it’s worth checking out regularly. The local crowd tends to be chill, so if you’re looking to practice your skills or just enjoy some fun rides, this place might suit you. Just be prepared for the variable quality of the surf. It’s one of those spots that won’t blow your mind, but it can still be fun under the right conditions.
