Castaways is a surf spot that offers a laid-back vibe, perfect for those looking to enjoy some time in the water. It’s located on an outside reef and is known for its predictable waves. The scenery is pretty stunning, with an idyllic deserted island backdrop. While it attracts some surfers, it can get a bit shallow at the end section, especially during low tide, so it's important to pay attention to the conditions.
This spot typically works well with a southeast swell and can handle sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter). You can also get some action with swells coming from the south and southwest. The waves break over dead coral, creating a mostly right-hand wave, which is suitable for intermediate surfers. For the best experience, you'll want to catch it when the wind is coming from the north. The tide can vary, as Castaways is rideable at low, mid, and high tide, making it a flexible spot for different surfing styles.
Nearby, you have "No Names" lefts on either side, which can be fun but usually don’t get ridden too often. If you’re looking for something less crowded and with some decent conditions, Castaways might be worth checking out.
