South Ab surf guide

South Ab is a surf spot that catches the eye of many surfers looking for their next wave. It's located in a coastal area that can be a bit tricky to find, but once you're there, it’s easy to see why people come back. With its rocky features and natural layout, it gives off a laid-back vibe. It's not the most famous spot out there, but it can be fun when the conditions are just right.

The surf here can handle swell sizes starting at 2ft (about 0.6 meters). It works best when the swell is coming from the SouthWest or NorthWest. The waves break over a RockLedge, producing both left and right waves, which gives you a couple of options depending on your preference. If you can time your session with the wind coming from the East, you’ll be in for a better ride. Low to mid tide is what you want to aim for, as it seems to bring out the best in what South Ab has to offer.

Like any surf spot, South Ab has its own vibe and crowd. It can get a bit busy when conditions are right, so it's a good idea to be respectful of other surfers in the water. If you’re looking for something to do after surfing, there's not much in the immediate area, so plan accordingly. Keep an eye on the weather and swell reports to make the most of your trip.
