Beacons Guía

A working person's wave nestled amongst more high-profile breaks like Swamis and Cardiff Reef, Beacon’s can offer something for everyone. Popular with beginners when it’s small and gutless, the wave breaks further out on a rock reef as the swell gets bigger to offer up quality lefts and rights. Score it on a good W swell with stiff offshores and you’ll understand just how dynamic this spot is. Picking up swell pretty much year-round, Beacons can be good in the middle of summer when a solid S is running and the water’s warm enough for trunks. Conversely, it loves a good W swell with E winds in the morning and water temperatures in the mid 50s. Beacons also has a way of sucking in local windswell, so when there’s not enough long-period swell for Swamis and Cardiff, Beacons is a viable option.
