Overview
About this Spot
Chiton Rocks is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. The spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom consists of sand and rocks, and it is best surfed at medium and high tides. The quality of the waves is considered normal, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The frequency of the waves is regular, but the length of the ride is typically less than 50 meters. The spot is known to be empty, so you might find yourself with plenty of space to surf. Nearby surf spots include Booma, Bullies, Dump, Horseshoe Bay, and Knights. When the sand is right over the reef and rocks, Chiton Rocks can offer nice left and right waves that lead into a heavy shore break. However, the waves are generally short and punchy, and they can become messy when the wind is onshore. It’s important to note that even if nearby Middleton has pumping waves, Chiton Rocks can be surprisingly flat at times. When the conditions are right, the spot can offer sneaky right-hand barrels and occasional barrels, especially when the wind is offshore. While it may not be an amazing spot, it can still be quite fun. To reach Chiton Rocks, head east on Port Elliot Road and turn down any of the streets after Second Street, which will lead you to the esplanade or a car park. Remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded. Always check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Keywords to keep in mind include surf, surfing, spot, forecast, report, map, and webcam.
