Bunga Head surf guide

Bunga Head is a popular surf spot that attracts advanced surfers looking for a challenge. It features a righthand point break that offers some decent waves at certain times of the year. The area is known for its rocky bottom and the way it can sometimes barrel, though consistency can vary quite a bit. Be prepared for conditions that may get tense, especially at the take-off.

This spot works best with southeast swell, though it can handle east and south swells too. The waves generally peak up out the back and then roll down the rocks, with heights that can be good for surfers who can navigate 3ft (about 1 meter) swells. The waves typically break over uneven reef, making it important to be cautious. The preferred wind direction is southwest, and itโ€™s advisable to surf during mid to high tide for the best conditions.

Only expert surfers should tackle Bunga Head, as the layout and wave dynamics can be tricky. It's not the most consistent spot, but those who know what they're doing can find some rewarding rides here. Just remember to check the conditions before heading out, as it can get crowded and hectic if the waves are rolling in right.
