Drums

Drums is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its right-hand waves and features a bottom composed of sand and rocks. Drums works well at all tides and is considered to have normal wave quality, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The spot is very consistent, providing waves that are less than 50 meters in length. Drums is typically uncrowded, offering surfers a more solitary experience. Nearby surf spots include Blowhole, Salmon Hole, Beachport, Southend, and Hairy Maclareys. On its day, surfers can take off behind the rocks for a bigger wave or ride into the inside section to catch a tube or boost. However, after a big set, the rip can become strong, so it’s advisable to keep catching waves to stay in the right spot. Drums is accessible via the scenic route to Wooleys car park, located at the first point along the beach. You can drive in along the 4WD tracks or walk down the beach. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded and assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
