Hi All,

I'm heading to Cocos Island in the school holidays with my family and was hoping to do a bit of surfing, probably at The Shack. The swell forecast at this stage is around 2.5m and I was curious to know what size the wave would be in terms of wave face at this swell? Might help me decide which boards to take. I was thinking just 2 short boards, my all rounder squash tail and either a smaller wave board, my rounded pin or just a backup all rounder.

I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been before.

Cheers, Waz.

hi WAzza
been a few times' kite and surf
had epic indo style 6 ft long long meaty walls on one occasion,
mostly softish waves in the clearest water , always off shore

can't tell what swell height equates too, thou, we never bothered with that, just turn up and surf

do the drift dive - really good
cheers

Thanks Bolgo. Very helpful.

Sounds like my 2 all rounders will do the job. Just in case the airline damages one.

Is the drift dive for scuba or snorkel?

Do you know if the right is any good over on the other island?

The right is epic..... for two maybe three months of the year..........
expensive to get too

Yeah I did look at going a couple of times but ended up in Indo as the $'s go further maybe one day

Some of the best fun I've ever had surfing was at Cocos.

drift is snorkel at direction island
great for the family

i have had great time there, but no day spas or cocktails at sunset

Thought I would give a quick update to answer my original question.

2.5m swell was around shoulder to head high. There was a 4m day while I was there which was in the double overhead range.

Had a great time and will keep the stoke going for quite a while.

good to hear
should be there now for this 1-2x a winter swell!

EPIC STUFF FROMA WHILE AGO

Wsl should have a comp there
