Sunglow Pier surf guide

Sunglow Pier is a well-known surf spot located in a bustling area, attracting a variety of surfers. It has a nice sandy bottom, making it a decent place to catch some waves. The pier break catches swells from multiple directions, but it’s particularly favorable when the swell is coming from the Northeast. Although it’s quite popular, it doesn’t break as often as some other spots nearby.

The surf here can be manageable for beginners, especially with swells around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). When the waves come in, they generally break left and right, and surfers can enjoy riding them at low, mid, and high tides. While it can handle some size, keep in mind that the current gets pretty strong with bigger swells, so pay attention to that. Winds from the southwest are preferred for the best conditions.

Be prepared for a packed lineup when the waves are good since there’s usually a hot local crew out in the water. If you’re looking for a social atmosphere and don’t mind a few more people around, Sunglow Pier might be the spot for you. Just make sure to keep an eye on the surf conditions before heading out.
