Spooks

Spooks is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its left wave direction and features a coral reef bottom. It is considered a regional classic in terms of wave quality and is best suited for experienced surfers, as the waves can be powerful and challenging. The surf spot sometimes breaks, offering wave lengths between 50 to 150 meters. Spooks is typically uncrowded, providing a more solitary surfing experience. However, surfers should be aware of the presence of urchins, rips, and undertow, as well as the potential for shark encounters, given its proximity to Kangaroo Island’s largest seal colony. The spot is situated at Cape du Couedic, approximately 300 meters off the cliffs. Nearby surf spots include Rockys, Sandy Creek, Hanson Bay, Vivonne Bay, and Middle River Wedge. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when a spot is crowded and to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
