Kapu Beach Lighthouse is a surf spot located at the coast, known for its unique features that attract surfers. The spot has a short, shallow right off the lighthouse, which tends to be a nice little wave. Beyond that, you’ll find miles of beachbreak that offer average surf in either direction. If you venture a bit towards Kerala, you might notice the conditions improve, with more consistency and size in the waves.
The optimal swell direction here is from the west, but the waves also handle swells from the southwest and northwest. Ideal swell sizes are around 3ft (about 1 meter), and the waves break over boulders and sand. You can expect right-hand waves, which can be fun for intermediate surfers. The best time to surf is during low to mid tide, and north-east winds work well to create favorable conditions.
This spot is suited for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy a decent ride. Just remember, while the waves can be good, they do tend to be average at times, so it's worth checking conditions before heading out. Enjoy your session at Kapu Beach Lighthouse!
