New Break works best on clean west-southwest swells in the 3-6 foot range with light offshore winds from the east-northeast. A mid-to-high tide (4-5 ft) smooths out the inside section and keeps the waves from dumping on the sand. This spot particularly shines on combo swells where SW energy wraps in while NW swell is fading—you get clean, organized peaks without the heavy close-outs. Avoid big NW storm swells, which wash through the break without much shape.
