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, 3.9 km away (6 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).
