Shark Bay Surf Guide

Shark Bay in Aruba is an exposed sandbar break that is often working. Offshore winds are from the northeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north. The sandbar break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Hazards include rips and rocks.
