Kosrae has some great surf -
BUT it's not predictable.

Generally, the summer months (June - September) have great surf at the Malem break on the east side of the island and near Kosrae Village. This break is suitable for all surfers.

The surf on the north side near Walung can become monstrous year around, with 20 footers being common. This is a great break for short boards, experience is needed!

In most cases the surf breaks over the hard coral reef flat so care is needed (some surfers wear helmets).

Some of the popular breaks are at channel or harbor mouths, so the surfer has some place to go.

The photos on this page were taken by Mike Lemons at the Malem break.
