Kiwayu surf guide

Kiwayu is a surf spot located in a beautiful setting. The place features a mix of reefs and a decent beach, making it an interesting spot for surfers. While the outside reefs can sometimes filter the swell, it still offers some fun waves for those looking to catch some rides.

The surf here is pretty accessible, especially for beginners. The optimal swell direction is Southeast, but it handles swells coming from the East and South as well. You can expect to catch waves with sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters), and they break over sand, providing a user-friendly experience. You’ll find both left and right waves, which is great for those who want a bit of variety. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid or high tides, and keep an eye on the wind; a NorthWest breeze works best to keep those waves clean.

Kiwayu is a solid choice for beginner surfers, thanks to the gentle swells and forgiving breaks. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to have a chill session, this spot can cater to your needs. Just remember to check the tide and wind before you paddle out for the best experience.
