Coconuts Surf Guide

Coconuts is a heavy, horseshoeing right-hand barrel that can be perfect on its day. Challenging and rewarding, comparable to other more famous waves like Lance's Right in the Mentawais, it can be a tad unpredictable and fickle but is probably the best right-hand barrel on the island.
