Babah Nipah surf guide

Babah Nipah is a surf spot located further south and can be a bit tricky to get to. It features a rivermouth setup that tends to offer some long rides when conditions are right. Expect a laid-back atmosphere around the area, which is typical for many less-traveled surf locations.

The spot generally works best with a south-west swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and west. It can pick up waves as small as 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and generally caters to expert surfers. The waves break over sand and the predominant wave direction is to the right, which can be fun if you're comfortable with right-handers. For the best experience, aim to hit the spot during low to mid or high tides, and keep an eye on the wind — north-east winds seem to work best here.

If you're planning to catch some waves at Babah Nipah, be prepared for a bit of a hike to access the lineup, but it can be worth it for the right conditions. Just be ready to paddle out and enjoy what this spot has to offer.
