Karawop surf guide

Karawop is a surf spot located near Wewak, known for its fun lefts that break over boulders. To get there, follow the Karawop Plantation signs after you land in Wewak. The location is quite tucked in, making it an enjoyable spot when the northwest winds are blowing offshore.

The waves here mainly work with northwest and northern swells, handling sizes of around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). Surfers can expect point breaks with left-hand waves that are best on low to mid tides. For those looking to catch the best conditions, southeast winds are ideal. The setup offers a mix of fun rides for varying skill levels, though the consistent swell might not always be there.

Beyond the surfing, the area is accessible and provides a range of services, making your visit a bit easier. Keep in mind that the swell consistency and size might drop compared to other spots, so it's good to check the conditions before heading out. Overall, Karawop has its moments and can be a pleasant spot for surfers looking to enjoy some time on the water.
