Cape Barabar surf guide

Cape Barabar is a surf spot located on the east coast of Muschu. It's the closest boat-accessible location from Wewak, making it relatively easy to reach. The area features a wide, scalloped reef that provides a variety of wave options. The surf scene here is not overly crowded, so you might find some room to enjoy the waves.

The best swell direction for Cape Barabar is from the North-East, but it can also handle swells from the North-West. The spot works well with swell sizes of around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) and features both lefts and rights breaking over dead coral. The optimal wind direction is from the South-West, which is good for the right-hand waves. The spot can be fun at any tide, whether it’s low, mid, or high, making it versatile for different surf sessions. It’s generally suitable for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves.

To get to Cape Barabar, you’ll need to find a boat to take you down the harbor in town. This spot can provide a decent surf experience, but don’t expect it to be world-class—it's more of a casual spot to enjoy the water. Always good to check with local surfers about the current conditions before you head out!
