Mukkam is a surf spot located in the town of Mukkampeta. It's known for its laid-back vibe and has a righthand point set-up that breaks over rocks close to the shore, especially at lower tides. This spot is pretty sheltered from the SW monsoon, making it a decent choice for surfers looking to catch some waves in a less crowded environment.
The optimal swell direction for Mukkam is from the SouthWest, which works well for the waves here. The spot can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and can pick up some swell coming from the NorthEast as well. The waves are mostly point breaks, rolling in to the right, which is great for those preferring right-handed rides. For the best conditions, it’s advisable to surf during low to mid tide and with west winds as they create more favorable surf conditions. This spot is suitable for beginners, so if you're just starting out, it can be a good place to practice.
Since Mukkam has a rocky ledge and some sandy areas, it offers a bit of variety in wave types but always be mindful of the specific conditions on the day you go. It's a good idea to check the local surf reports before heading out, as conditions can change quickly. Overall, Mukkam is an option worth considering for surfers looking to enjoy a more relaxed session.
