The Office
The Office is a consistent left reef break in the Telo Islands that handles a range of swell sizes, making it a reliable go-to wave during charter trips to this remote island chain. Less heavy than nearby GT's, it offers long walls with barrel sections that suit intermediate-to-advanced surfers. The name reflects its status as the 'workplace' for visiting surfers—a dependable wave you can always clock in to.
