Overview
Gaukendi Bridge is a left-hand reef break over dead coral, and it's a good pick for intermediate surfers. Rides here tend to be on the short side.
When It Works
The reef draws swell from southwest through southeast, with southeast swell the best match, and it works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.5 m / 5 ft. When the swell is small, take the left on the south side or the peak in the middle, and steer clear of the close-outs on the north side.
Wind and Tide
Look for northeast offshore wind. The reef comes in on mid and high tide, with a rising tide the better call. It's fairly safe and not too shallow on higher water, which makes higher tides the more forgiving time to paddle out.
