Scarecrows is a surf spot located on the tip of a small island north of Pitojat. It’s known for its shifty left reef break that handles a variety of swell directions, but it particularly lights up with a southwest swell. This spot tends to be less crowded, thanks to the wide clean-ups that keep things moving towards the channel. It can get a bit messy and is often just average when the tide is high, but there are typically decent waves to be found, especially when other spots are smaller.

The surf can handle swell sizes of around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) and works well on low to mid and high tides. The waves break over live coral, offering a unique experience. Most of the time, beginners will find some fun and manageable waves here, while more experienced surfers might break out the bigger boards when the size increases. The preferred wind direction is southeast, which can make things a bit cleaner when conditions align.

Overall, Scarecrows is a reliable option for surfers looking for a variety of conditions without the serious crowd factor. It’s a good spot for intermediates when the swell is small to medium, but keep in mind that the waves can get a little unpredictable, so be ready for anything!
