Five Islands surf guide

Five Islands is a surf spot known for its challenging waves that break over a shallow coral reef. It's mostly a right-hand wave, offering surfers a good chance to ride some solid walls. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers who are looking to push their skills. With its location, Five Islands picks up swells from the SouthEast and SouthWest, making it a versatile spot for different conditions.

The optimal swell direction here is from the SouthEast, but the waves can handle swells coming from the SouthWest too. The spot works best when the swell is around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and can handle larger swells as well. You can expect to find hard, hollow sections on the inside reef, especially during low to mid tide. On the outside, the waves encourage deep take-offs leading into some exciting rides. For the best experience, a North wind is preferred, which helps to clean up the waves.

These waves are not suitable for beginners, so it's important to have some intermediate skills before you paddle out. Whether you're looking for a fun session or trying to improve your technique, Five Islands offers a solid challenge. Just keep an eye on the tide and swell direction to get the most out of your surf time here.
