Oysterhaven surf FAQ

Is Oysterhaven good for beginners?+

Oysterhaven is a beach break, usually breaking in the 0.5–2.5m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.
