Nago is a reef break sitting across a short channel, and it's probably the most-ridden spot in the area. The waves break over uneven reef and peel both left and right.
When It Works
Nago is a consistent reef that draws swell from west to north (W-N), and it comes into its own on a northwest (NW) swell. It's usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 3 m / 10 ft, and it tends to pick up northerly swells more readily than other options nearby. The left is usually the pick: it makes the most of smaller swells with steep, punchy walls and an inside tuck section. The right is fickler, needs more size to fire, and can throw a fast barrel when it's on.
Wind and Tide
Look for offshore wind from the south (S). Nago works through low to mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
It suits intermediate surfers, and you can expect a fairly quiet lineup.
