South Pass surf guide

South Pass is a surf spot located across the channel from La Gauche. It's less consistent than some other spots, but it can handle some southeast wind. The vibe here is more like a big, dusty harbor town than a trendy resort, which gives it a unique charm. It's a place to enjoy the surf without the frills.

The best days at South Pass happen when the swell comes from the southwest or west, with optimal conditions for swells around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). The waves here break over live coral and mainly produce left-handers, so it's a great place if that's your preference. The best winds are from the northeast, and you'll find that low to mid tides are the most enjoyable for surfing. This spot is suited for intermediate surfers who are up for a bit of a challenge.

Like Behakio, you should be aware of the usual surf hazards around here, including sharks and currents. Be mindful of the conditions, as they can change quickly, and make sure you're comfortable with the environment. Always keep an eye on the weather and surf reports before heading out.
