Love Charms is one of the most reliable waves in the area. On a low tide there are two distinct sections and on a higher tide the sections can link up creating a long speedy ride that will occasionally barrel.

  • Wave direction: left

  • Best wind: north & north east

  • Best swell: south

  • Level: medium

Tiger Stripes is a very consistent long left that has several sections and nice walls for turns and maneuvers.  

  • Wave direction: left

  • Best wind: north-east

  • Best swell: south

Blue Bowls is a favorite in the area! It is a long right hander. As the wave bends around the reef it bowls up and generates powerful long walls and the occasional barrel. It can be surfed on any tide.
