Papua New Guinea Surf Spot Map

Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the rugged tropical island of New Guinea (which it shares with the Indonesian territory of Irian Jaya) as well as numerous smaller islands and atolls in the Pacific. The coast and island atolls are packed with coral reefs generating quality waves.

The main Papua New Guinea surfing season is between November and April, and receives regular swells of between 3 to 6ft, and November is the time of choice due to the lack of winds. Early morning is best to take advantage of the offshore winds, but the nature of the reefs should ensure that there is always somewhere that is offshore if you are prepared to have a look. The uncrowded surf ensures that you have a magical trip.

Waves to note are Piccinniny and Long-Long. There is also potential for a bit of exploration.

If you are serious about surfing and travel you will need a decent surfing guide book. Take a look at the Stormrider Guide Europe, Stormrider Guide North America and the World Stormrider Guide books. We cannot emphasise just how good these books are.
