Majestics surfspot characteristics

More about Majestics surfspot

Puraran Bay is the local name for Majestics, which hits an angled coral shelf, stands up beyond straight and vortexes off for a short, but intense ride with an impressive power to size ratio. Needs at least a 2-3ft (1m), swell to clear the coral and it is best surfed from mid to high tide on the push. Having a light SW wind to hold up the lips is also a crucial factor, limiting the season to habagat months, which luckily coincide with the typhoons that bring the ideal E-NE swell direction.

Intermediates might have fun on small days, but once it gets overhead, only tube-jockeys with an air-drop game will get into the heaving pits. Low tide can be ridden, but cuts are guaranteed to fallers and often result in infections and fevers, a long way from any hospital. Locals are usually cool and any hassles in the line-up may come from zealous regulars and transplants, irked by the wave's fickle nature.
