Keramas Surf Guide
In a land of perfect lefts, Keramas is one of a few perfect rights. An excellent reefbreak on a classic, black-sand beach, Keramas seems to have a wind of its own that is often different than the prevailing winds at other spots.. Unfortunately that wind is often onshore. As such, Keramas is a spot for true dawn patrol surfing. First light. After 7am, chances are that wind is going to begin to affect the barrels. Keramas is a fun righthander for hot dog surfing when it is smaller. In the past few years, surfers have been pushing the limits of what is considered too big to surf at Keramas. Keramas is a heavy wave when it is big, the reef is shallow and sharp, the currents in the end section can be fierce, and it can be difficult to exit the water.
