Lighthouse Bay on the West Coast is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. The best wind direction is from the northwest with some shelter here from southwest winds. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the south. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Best around high tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Take care of rips, rocks, sharks, and isolation.
