About Nago's

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NW (310°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (130°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea is about 30°C all year: no wetsuit. For beginners the best month is usually October, with about 4 good days in 7; in February, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kavieng, 3.8 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 3 dive sites.

Water about 30°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
