Horseshoe Surf Guide

When it’s pumping, Horseshoe is not for the faint of heart. When there’s a solid groundswell running, primarily during the winter months, the break is hollow and heavy with spitting barrels over a shallow rock reef.

Depending on the tide, the lefthander can break in only a couple of feet of water, leaving little room for error. Read more
