Twin Rivers Surf Guide

There are two point/river mouth breaks at Twin Rivers. The best swell direction is west to northwest. The left is the most surfed break off the western river, it is malibu going left. The wave is soft with easy drop-ins and can hold a big swell with rippable forgiving long walls. S-SE offshore winds are best for this break which works at low to mid tide. The right is less surfed and breaks off the east river. It is usually a little smaller than the left but has more energy, breaks faster and is very rippable. S-SW offshores are best and it also works from low-mid tide.
