YCW

YCW beach is best on, or close too high tide giving plenty of distance between the fins and rocks below in some sections but also lifting a decent point break with the right wind.

There's a few rocks to dodge on the way out, although can be a sheltered break similar to smiths beach its next door neighbour.

Similar to smiths its a higher dune that shelters the beach section but being a smaller in length beach there can be an amped point break from both sides giving room for the gromets to paddle in the guts and a fun ride for intermediate to full timers off the points.

When YCW gets a N wind and it hits the southern swell the times perfect for potential point breaks but also some decent beach breaks.
Although much like Smiths there's usually regular waves for beginners to get some practice.


The breaks are cleaner and way less crowded than smiths but can still pump out some good swell on the right day.

The best time of year is avoiding summer holidays due to the crowds that overflow from popular Smiths beach but as for condition's the winter months can create large swells for more experienced surfers.

Still big fish but lets face it the island has all types and plenty of them so keep an eye out.

Locals have always been friendly unless pushed away from the point or position then beware!

Most days its a good beginner's beach although when a SW wind shows up with the right swell you'll get some decent sets rolling in that can give a decent face to carve although pretty small rides.

Enjoy it, most of all respect it. sharkras from dono
