Ram5 is a surf spot located near some rocky terrain, making it a bit tricky to get in and out of the water. It’s close to military land, but surfers have found ways to access it over time. Even though it can get pretty crowded, it doesn't always deliver consistent waves. On a scale of 1 to 10, consistency hovers around a 5.
This spot breaks left over an uneven reef, and it handles swell sizes around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) pretty well. For the best results, aim for a south-west swell direction, though it can also work with swells coming from the south or north-west. The preferred wind direction is from the south-east, and the tide can be low, mid, or high. Just a heads-up: this spot is really meant for expert surfers, so make sure you're on your game if you decide to paddle out.
While the waves at Ram5 can be powerful, keep in mind that the overall surf experience can vary. It's a great place for skilled surfers who know how to handle the conditions, but less experienced surfers might find it a bit challenging. Make sure to be cautious and aware of the environment when you're out there.
