Goukamma surf guide

Goukamma is a surf spot located near a river mouth, known for its sandy peaks that can create some decent waves. It’s a nice place to chill and catch some surf when the conditions are right, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different. The area has a laid-back vibe, making it a good spot for surfers who enjoy a more relaxed environment.

The surf at Goukamma generally works best with a south swell, but you can also pick up waves coming from the east and southwest. The break usually handles swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3m) and goes up. Waves here form over sand, and you can expect both left and right breaks. It’s a good spot for intermediate surfers, especially when the wind is coming from the northeast. The tides don't matter too much since it works on low, mid, and high tides, but checking the conditions is always smart to maximize your session.

Keep an eye out for the surrounding environment, as the area is known for its natural beauty. Just note, there have been reports of shark activity, especially near the adjacent Fish Bomba reef, so it’s wise to stay aware. Overall, Goukamma is a solid option for a surf session, especially when you want to avoid the crowds at more popular spots.
