Kasabu is a surf spot located in a scenic area where surfers of all levels can find something to enjoy. It’s a pretty chill place to hang out, but it can get a bit crowded at times, especially when the conditions are just right. The spot is best for those looking for a mix of fun and challenge, making it a good option for everyone from beginners to more experienced surfers.
On a regulation SW swell, Kasabu starts with an easy roll-in that transitions into a hollower, faster section as you ride along the long reef. The wave breaks over live coral and usually offers rights, with a preferable wind from the Northwest. It handles swell sizes well at around 3ft (about 0.9 meters), and it works well on low, mid, and high tides. Beginners can find smaller, more user-friendly rights near the lagoon, while intermediates and advanced surfers can enjoy long, rippable walls that lead to challenging grinding barrels when the swell gets big.
Just a heads up, make sure to watch out for rips during dropping tides, as they can pop up and make things a bit tricky. Kasabu is pretty reliable when NW winds are blowing, and W winds are usually okay too, but the outside corner might get a bit messy. Overall, it’s a versatile spot that caters to a range of surfing abilities.
