Manu is a surf spot known for its unique setting and vibrant atmosphere. It features a reef pass that offers two sections, making it a place where surfers can enjoy varying conditions. The backdrop includes lush jungle that leads down to the water, creating a scenic environment. It’s not the most famous spot, but it’s a solid choice for those looking to catch some waves.

The surf at Manu breaks mainly to the right, with optimal swell coming from the east. You can expect good surfing when the swell sizes are around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), and it can handle swells from the north and southeast as well. The best times to hit the waves are during low, mid, or high tide. If the wind is coming from the southwest, that’s a bonus for optimal conditions. Overall, this spot suits intermediate surfers who are looking for a fun day on the reef, where the waves break over live coral.

While you're out there, keep an eye out for any local wildlife, as this area could be home to some saltwater creatures. The deepwater channel nearby adds an interesting element to the spot, and it’s always good to be aware of your surroundings when surfing. Enjoy your time at Manu!
