The Dump surf guide

The Dump is a surf spot located west at the First Avenue car park. It features some reef rights that can provide a decent ride, although it can get a bit crowded during good days. The waves can be inconsistent, but there are moments when it can deliver some fun sessions, especially for those looking to practice their moves on the slopey walls.

This spot works best with a south swell direction, and it can handle swell sizes around 2ft (0.6 meters). You’ll also see it responding well to southeast and southwest swells. When the waves break, they come from both left and right directions over an uneven reef, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. It’s best enjoyed on low to mid tides but can also be surfed during high tide. For those looking to maximize their sessions, a northeast wind direction is preferable.

While The Dump can get busy, it’s generally a place for local surfers to hang out, and those looking for more advanced or consistent spots might want to explore other options nearby. On bigger days, it can get overwhelmed, so keep an eye on the conditions before heading out.
