Surfing Pohnpei should be on every surfer’s bucket list. It’s the most consistent region for surf in the Caroline Islands thanks to its open-facing reefs that capture swells from all directions.
The surf season in Pohnpei runs from October to April, with offshore and side-offshore trade winds offering great conditions even on the windiest days. P-Pass is the biggest drawcard for surfers and it’s one of the world’s best right-handers. It’s best during north, northwesterly and northeasterly swells and is exposed to both the typhoon swells from the west and strong unblocked swells from the north.
P-Pass is one of the most user-friendly reef breaks in Micronesia and can be surfed during any tide without booties. It’s definitely one of the most consistent waves in the area and unlike many other waves in the Pacific region, it can be surfed every day of the week. (On some islands in Micronesia working and surfing on Sundays is prohibited).
