Spessard South Surf Guide
When a swell has other high tide spots washing through, Spessard can be clean and throwing. A deep trough past the inside sandbar allows for steep waves to cascade over the drastic depth change, creating a mid-section with the feel and push of a shorebreak. The sandbars, like most spots, come in go with the shifting sands. Over the past several years, there have been various various beach renourishment projects in this area.
