Tikkus surf FAQ

Is Tikkus good for beginners?+

Tikkus is a reef break over coral, usually breaking in the 1.2–3.5999999999999996m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. The coral bottom rewards some confidence in the water and awareness of what's beneath you, especially as the size picks up. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.

Look for 1.2–3.5999999999999996m of swell from the S / SW / W with light offshore winds from the NE / E / SE. The 5-day forecast above scores every hour, so you can spot the window at a glance.
