Yoff Island surf guide

Yoff Island is a surf spot located off the coast, known for its unique waves and beautiful surroundings. It features a mix of reef breaks and natural beauty, making it an interesting place for surfers looking to catch some waves. The island serves as a safe anchorage for fishing boats, adding to its charm. It takes about 10 minutes to paddle from the beach to the outside left, which is where most of the action happens.

The surf here is generally suited for intermediate surfers. Yoff Island holds a left wave that works best with bigger northern swells, especially when the tide is medium. The optimal swell direction is northwest, but it can handle swells coming from the north and southwest as well, particularly when the size is around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). When conditions are right, you’ll likely find some decent lefts breaking over the uneven reef. There’s also a wind-exposed right break just a 5-minute paddle west. While it can be long and fun, it’s important to check the wind conditions since south winds are preferred.

Be mindful of the rocks at lower tides, as they can make things tricky while surfing. The varying tide heights can affect the shape of the waves, so it's good to try surfing at low, mid, and high tides for different experiences. Overall, Yoff Island offers a laid-back vibe with waves worth checking out, but be sure to know your limits and enjoy the surf safely!
