Kai's Place surf guide

Kai's Place is a surf spot located further west from Sitka. It's known for its rocky lefts and requires a bit of a trip to get there, as it takes about an hour by boat. The spot is nestled in a beautiful part of the landscape, adding to the experience of catching some waves.

When it comes to the surf, Kai's Place really shines with a southwesterly swell, though you can also catch waves with western swells. The reef breaks can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and pick up as the swell increases. The waves are predominantly lefts, making it a great spot for those who love to ride left-handers. For the best conditions, you're looking at east winds and a flexible approach to tide heights, as it works well during low, mid, and high tides. Keep in mind that this spot is best suited for expert surfers who are comfortable handling reef breaks.

It's worth noting that both Red Tree Reef and Neva Bay are nearby spots, and they also require the right mix of swell size and the favorable easterly winds. If you're planning a surf trip, give yourself enough time to explore these options as well, but keep Kai's Place in mind for some solid lefts.
