Papa surf guide

Papa is a surf spot also known as Pea, located in a popular area for surfers looking for a casual day on the waves. It can handle different swell sizes, starting from around 1ft (0.3m), making it accessible for surfers of various skill levels. While it might get crowded during the summer months, especially with local bodyboarders when the waves are under 4ft (1.2m), it still offers a laid-back vibe for those who want to enjoy the surf.

The optimal swell direction for Papa is Northwest, but it can also accommodate southwest swells. The spot offers both left and right waves, which is great for longboarders as well as beginners. The waves break over an uneven reef, which adds a bit of challenge. The best conditions are usually found with a southeast wind, and it works through all tide heights—low, mid, and high—making it a versatile spot for different surfing conditions.

Even though it’s beginner-friendly, it's always good to keep an eye on the local crowd, especially during peak season. If you're not familiar with the area, make sure to respect the lineup and enjoy your time at Papa!
