Renaca Surf Guide
The peaky beachbreak is a product of offshore boulders that have sculpted the sandbars towards the north end of the beach into peaky A-frames that wedge in and over themselves, allowing a couple big moves and/or a brief shack before closing out. South of the main peaks, and stretching on south down the beach, are a series of poorly shaped closeouts.
