Chickens surf guide

Chickens is a well-known surf spot that offers a unique experience for surfers. It's located in a beautiful area with a laid-back vibe. The spot can get busy, but it's popular for a reason; it has some decent waves depending on the conditions. The lefts here have their moments, but there's a lot of variability in wave quality and crowd size throughout the year.

The left at Chickens can serve up long, playful rides that sometimes produce barrels lasting around 10 seconds. However, things can get a bit messy when the SW wind is up, so be mindful of that. The best swell direction is Southeast, with good conditions for swells coming from the South as well. It handles swells in the range of 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over dead coral. The waves here are reef breaks that typically work under low, mid, or high tides. This spot is best suited for intermediate surfers looking to get some fun lefts under the right conditions, especially with a Northwest wind.

When there's a major Southeast swell, keep an eye on Meerufenfushi Corner for potential rights. Just donโ€™t expect those rides to be as zippy as the lefts at Chickens. Overall, itโ€™s a spot worth checking out, especially if you're in the area and looking to catch some fun waves.
