About Go Go's

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

The spot faces N (343°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (163°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea is about 30°C all year: no wetsuit. For intermediate surfers the best month is usually January, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kavieng, 7.7 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 dive site.

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).
