Destroyers surf guide

Destroyers is located in the Dominican Republic, known for being a popular surf spot among confident surfers. It's a shallow reef setup that can pack a punch with its fast, round lefts. The place really shines during NW-NE swells, especially when the waves get up to around 8ft (2.5m). Just be ready for a ride that can be a bit intense, as the reef here is sharp and often has urchins hanging around.

The optimal swell direction at Destroyers is from the NorthWest, but it can also work well with NorthEast swells. The waves can handle sizes starting from about 4ft (1.2m) and reaching up to 8ft (2.5m). Make sure to catch it during mid to high tide for the best conditions. If you want to score some barrels, this is the place, but remember, it's not for beginners; you definitely need to be an expert to tackle what Destroyers throws at you. A south wind is preferable here for optimal surf.

For those looking for a challenge, this spot pairs well with neighboring breaks like Mini Tavarua, which offers long lefts over a similar reef setup. Both spots benefit from NNW-N swells, providing exciting options for those who know what they're doing. Just keep in mind to respect the reef and ensure you're prepared for the conditions.
