Stimpy's is a surf spot that can be quite demanding, geared mostly towards expert surfers looking for a challenge. It's known for its ferocious and unpredictable left barrels that wrap around coral heads, making it a spot where you need to stay alert. On overhead swells, it can break with some real board-breaking power, but don’t worry if the waves are smaller; on those days, you can catch some fun walls and shoulders. Overall, it tends to be a consistent location for experienced surfers.
The best conditions here usually occur with a NorthEast swell. It can handle swell sizes starting at about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and goes up efficiently. The waves break over live coral, delivering solid lefts. If you want the best experience, look for winds coming from the Northwest. The tide can be variable; whether it’s low, mid, or high, you can find something to ride at Stimpy's, as it adapts well.
When heading out, it's smart to bring a longer board to help make those critical drops. Also, stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun while on the boat. Be aware that these outer reefs can have stinging jellyfish, so wearing a long-sleeve rash vest can be a good idea to avoid any unwanted stings.
