Nahlap surf guide

Nahlap is a surf spot located near the Nahlap Island resort. It offers a relatively laid-back atmosphere that can appeal to surfers looking for a mix of fun and relaxation. The spot is known for its right-hand reef break, making it a reliable choice for those learning the ropes or just wanting to enjoy some mellow rides. It’s a decent option for a surf session, especially when the conditions align.

The waves here are best when there’s a southeast swell, which typically runs from July to October. You can expect wave faces around 3-4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters). While it can handle smaller swells down to 2 feet (0.6 meters), the optimal swell direction is southeast, though it also accepts east and south swells. If you get lucky, the wind will be coming from the northwest, keeping everything neat and tidy. Whether you’re a beginner or just a bit rusty, this spot is pretty forgiving during low, mid, and high tides.

For those new to surfing or looking to improve, Nahlap offers a friendly environment where you can take your time getting comfortable on the board. The reef can provide some fun rides if you're careful, and with its relatively consistent conditions, it's a great place to practice your skills without too much pressure.
