Daku is a surf spot that's known for having a split peak over a reef, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced surfers. The vibe here is laid back, and it's a nice place to catch some waves without getting too crowded. The area is not too aggressive, with the coral being a bit less harsh compared to other outside reefs.
The best setup for surfing at Daku occurs when the swell is coming from the SouthEast, but it can also handle some SouthWest swells as well. It works well with swell sizes of around 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). In the morning, you'll find fun rights and a few lefts, with the waves breaking over dead coral. Mid to high tide is preferred for the best ride, as lower tides might not work as well. If you’re a beginner, there's a reform right at Daku that can be useful for practicing your skills, especially when the conditions align nicely with a NorthEast wind.
Aside from the waves, Daku has a friendly atmosphere that makes it great for surfers of all levels. Just keep an eye on the conditions, as they can change quickly, and be sure to check the tide before heading out. Enjoy your time in the water and have fun catching some waves!
