Poovar surf guide

Poovar is located about 40km south and is known for its surf scene that can cater to those looking to ride both lefts and rights. It features a rivermouth setup, which can create some interesting waves, especially with a decent south swell and northeast winds. The area has a laid-back vibe, which makes it a good spot for surfers wanting to enjoy a session without too much hassle.

This spot handles swells from the south and northwest and can work well when the swell size is around 2ft (0.6m). With the right conditions, you'll find some decent waves breaking over sand. The rivermouth can produce fast, tubular waves that intermediate surfers will find challenging yet enjoyable. Low, mid, and high tides all offer different experiences, but keep an eye on the northeast winds to get the best sessions.

Due to the nature of the rivermouth, be prepared for some strong currents, which can be a part of the experience here. It's a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and surf within your skill level, especially since this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers. Enjoy your session and be mindful of the conditions!
