Carana Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Carana is a north-facing, sand-bottom beach break on Carana Beach that peels both left and right.

When It Works

Carana comes alive on the rare north summer swell, when the beach can serve up easy waves off its sandy bottom. It draws swell from north through east-northeast to southeast, with north swell the best match, and stays workable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.2 m / 4 ft. The break is moderately consistent. It also throws up some wind slop in the southeast trades, which can pull in a few locals when other spots aren't on.

Wind and Tide

Look for a southwest offshore wind. The beach can work across low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

The mellow beach waves make this a good option for beginners. Expect a moderately busy lineup when it's working.
