Nago Surf Guide

One of the most consistent waves in the Kavieng region, Nago is a shapely and shallow left-hander that breaks off the top of the barrier reef surrounding tiny Nago Island. It can hold a fair bit of size and is generally a long wave with several sections. An ideal setup for everyone, the only bummer is that Nago is rather exposed to all wind directions.
