Horseshoe Bay

Horseshoe Bay is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. The spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom consists of rocks and sand, and the quality is considered a regional classic. It is suitable for intermediate surfers, and the waves sometimes break with a length of less than 50 meters. The spot is often empty, providing a less crowded experience. Nearby surf spots include Bullies, Booma, Chiton Rocks, Knights, and Dump. Surfers can paddle out from in front of the cafe at Horseshoe Bay, especially on windy days when Middleton is frothy. Small waves can be caught on the actual beach, but the real waves are out past the jetty near a rock island. The paddle out can take more than 20 minutes, or surfers can use a boat. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when a spot is crowded and to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
