Hastings Surf Guide

Heading east from Brandon's you'll cross into Hastings where trade swell offers occasional decent surf. Predominately lefts it is usually best for longboarders and beginners but can be fun when the surf gets some size. Similar to other spots along the South Coast, Hastings can handle the typical trade winds fairly well, resulting in typically clean surf.
