Peanuts is a surf spot that’s worth checking out if you’re in the area. It’s located at a reef break that tends to come alive when the swell is right. The vibe here is pretty chill, and it’s a popular destination for surfers looking for a spot that offers quality waves. Just a heads up, it can get a little crowded at times, so be prepared to share the waves with fellow surfers.

The best conditions at Peanuts occur with a west swell, handling sizes around 3ft (0.9m). The waves break over a dead coral reef, producing left-handed waves that can be pretty fun for intermediate surfers. The optimal wind direction is northeast, which helps to create cleaner waves. You can surf at low, mid, or high tide here, but it’s important to time your sessions as the wind can change things up quickly, making it a bit tricky on certain days.

When the surf is good, Peanuts offers a more intense ride compared to the neighboring T-Land, especially when the swell is breaking up. It might not have the same length as some other spots, but when you catch it on a good day, it can serve up superb barrels. Keep an eye on the swell direction from the southwest to the west for the best conditions.
