Swimming Pools surf guide

Swimming Pools is located on the other side of Namotu and offers a unique surf experience. This spot is generally smaller than the surrounding breaks, making it a good option for those looking for a laid-back session. Despite being a bit less intense, it tends to attract a mix of surfers, particularly regular footers escaping the more challenging lefts.

The surf here works best with a southwest swell, although it can handle swells coming from the south and northwest too. You can expect wave heights around 3ft (about 0.9 meters). The waves break over live coral, which can give you a fun reef experience. Swimming Pools offers predominantly right-hand waves and is most enjoyable when the wind is coming from the northeast. It’s pretty versatile as it works at low, mid, and high tides, but keep in mind that it's best suited for intermediate surfers.

When you hit Swimming Pools, you'll find that it can be a bit faster and hollow at times. While it may not be the most spectacular spot out there, it definitely keeps that emphasis on fun, making it a solid choice for a relaxed surf session.
