Lizards Nest surf guide

Lizard’s Nest is located south of Pulau Pinang and can be a bit tricky to find, but it’s definitely worth the effort for those looking for a solid surf session. This spot is known for its long right-hand wave that can deliver some decent rides when the conditions align just right. It’s not the most consistent place, but when it’s firing, it can offer a unique experience for those willing to seek it out.

The wave works best with a southwest swell and can handle wave sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). It’s sensitive to swell direction, so tracking the conditions is key. When it’s pumping from the SSW, you might just get lucky with a 10-second barrel. The wave breaks over live coral, which adds another layer to the surf experience. Mid to high tides are the sweet spot here, and for the best results, you’ll want a north wind. Note that this spot is recommended for expert surfers, as the waves can be challenging.

While there isn't much in the way of amenities nearby, surfers looking to check out Lizard’s Nest should come prepared. It’s always good to bring your own gear and plan for a day in the sun. If you’re ready for a bit of adventure and are comfortable with the conditions, Lizard’s Nest could be a worthwhile addition to your surf itinerary.
