Epao surf guide

Epao, also known as White Cows, is a small cove that offers a unique surfing experience on the east coast. This spot is less crowded, making it a great place for those looking for some solo time in the waves. With its right reef break, it’s a suitable option for surfers who want to avoid busy spots and enjoy a more laid-back atmosphere.

The surf here works best with southeast swell and handles sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). If you’re planning to hit the waves, aim for mid to high tide for the best conditions. The waves break over live coral, and you can expect them to be on the softer side, which makes it easier to ride, especially if you're at an intermediate skill level. For wind, southwest is the preferred direction, ensuring the waves remain clean and fun.

Keep in mind that this spot likes southeast swell, but also can handle some northeast swells, giving you a bit of variety throughout the season. Pack your gear and head over for a chill surfing session at Epao, where you can enjoy the natural beauty and the quieter vibe.
