Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

The optimal conditions occur with offshore winds from the southeast and groundswells coming from the west-northwest. When the surf is up, the spot can get quite crowded. Surfers should be cautious of rips, rocks, locals, pollution, and mines. The best surfing conditions at Exiles happen when a west-northwest swell combines with an offshore wind from the southeast, with January being the prime month during the winter season for consistent clean waves.
