Knights is a surf spot on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It’s known as a remote, exposed reef/point-style break that can offer powerful, quality waves when the right swell lines up. Because it sits on a rugged stretch of coastline, it tends to work best with clean groundswell and favorable wind conditions, and it can be quite serious when surf gets big.

A few general points about Knights:

Best for experienced surfers due to the power and often shallow or tricky setup
Works best on a solid SW groundswell with light/offshore winds
Can be inconsistent compared with more sheltered breaks
Remote location means fewer crowds, but also fewer services nearby
Cold water conditions are common, so a proper wetsuit is usually needed
