Smiths Beach is a relaxed beachbreak located on the south coast, making it a go-to spot for surfers looking for a chill day in the water. The beach is known for its gentle sand shelves, making it perfect for beginners and surf schools. Right behind the beach, you'll find a campsite which adds to the laid-back vibe of the area.

The surf at Smiths Beach works best with a south or southwest swell and can handle sizes starting from just 1ft (0.3m). The waves break over sand, and you'll find both left and right peaky waves, which can be enjoyable for various skill levels. It's ideal to surf here at low to mid tide when the conditions tend to be more favorable. If you're lucky, the north wind can provide some nice protection, making your session even more pleasant.

While Smiths Beach is primarily a beachbreak, there are some reefs working out near the race track, but getting to them can be a bit tricky. Overall, it's a decent spot for those looking to practice their skills or just have a relaxed surf session.
