Shingu is a surf spot near the Shingu fishing port that offers a pretty unique vibe. You’ll find it on the left side of the beach, where a river mouth creates some interesting surf conditions. It's a spot that can cater to different ability levels, especially beginners looking to get into surfing.

The surf here is mainly lefts breaking beside a seawall, and it’s known for having some fun rides. There’s a peak that shifts between right and left, with the left being usually smaller but a lot faster than the longer rights. The optimal swell direction is Northwest, but it can also work with swells coming from the Northeast. It can handle swell sizes starting from around 1 foot (0.3 meters) and works best during low to mid to high tide, making it pretty versatile. If you’re planning to paddle out, a south wind is preferable for better conditions.

Shingu is a great spot for beginners thanks to its forgiving waves and its range of swell sizes. Remember that the bottom is sand, which can be nice for those just starting out. Whether you're riding the lefts or the rights, you’re likely to find something that suits your skill level.
