Visitor reviews of Whitefish Bay surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“The good surf in Whitefish Bay comes to Buckley Park. Klode park is the other option but the current is not ideal nor wind direction on good swells. A strong SE has the best shape but size is limited to waist high. A good strong ENE will bring the best size and shape all around.”

“Well.... You folks say that there is a surf break at this site so... I believe ya but.... there is absolutely no public access to this spot, for miles. Shoreline is completely locked in with private land. Unless you have a speedboat and are willing to speed away from Port Washington Harbor to Whitefish Bay, there will never be any surfing here. Seems kinda silly to even have it listed to me.
[Editor replies: Private property is an issue at many breaks, so I'm curious why simply asking a landowner for access isn't an option here.]”
