Stokes Bay is Kangaroo Island's north-coast reef and bay surf zone, known as much for the boulder walk-through and hidden cave entrance as for the waves themselves. When the west pulse arrives and southerly flow cleans it up, the lefts and rights on the reef can turn a quiet beach stop into a proper session. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Stokes Bay in South Australia.

Southerly flow is the clean lane, west swell is the main trigger, and low tide exposes more reef while mid to high tide softens the line.
The real check is whether the cave-side reef is standing up cleanly and the rock hop is safe.
Access runs through the boulders and cave entrance, so watch the sharks and tidal-pool maze when the beach is busy.
