K.O.A is a surf spot that’s tucked away and can be a bit tricky to get to, making it a hidden gem for those willing to camp at the KOA Kampground nearby. The beach vibe is pretty chill, and while it can get crowded, it’s usually not too packed thanks to the access situation. If you like a bit of adventure and the outdoors, this place could be right for you.

When it comes to surfing at K.O.A, you'll find hollow and powerful waves breaking over a sandy bottom, especially on the outside sandbar. The best time to catch these waves is during low to mid tide, and the spot handles swell sizes well from 2ft (around 0.6m) and can take on bigger swells too. The optimal swell direction is Southeast, but you can also catch waves from the North or South. Expect both left and right-breaking waves suitable for beginners. On a good day, the preferred wind direction is from the West, which works in your favor.

If you’re planning to surf here, keeping an eye on the tide can make a big difference. The inside reforms at higher tides can provide some fun rides, so it’s worth checking the conditions before you head out. Just remember, since access is limited, it's best to come prepared and make the most of your time on the waves!
