Obyan
Edit SpotAbout
long ways from the city but a short paddle with consistent waves! AWSOMENESS!!.
Atmosphere:
this place is trippy! one day is could be 3 footers that brake with a deep barrel that is so clear ur surfing with the fishes. next day is 4-6 footers with choppy ass water that u cant find the channel.
best time to go is early morning around 7am
Additional Info:
Driving down the unpaved road is a pain on the butt also best to go with a local bradah to save you the trouble of dealing with other local bradahs that don`t take to kindly to foreigners.
When at the beach look for the channels and u will see an A-frame brake straight ahead! Paddle out form the channel to the left (divers frequently use the channel to the right, respect them and they will respect you). The surf spot has two makers. One is a buoy in the water (used for divers) and two coconut trees side by side on the beach. The wave breaks left and right but the right is a longer ride.
