Island 200 m off Mystics: ledgy right out the back, a warping left on the island's side ('like Shippies on a big day') and a two-way peak at the top. It works best on an ESE swell with W winds around mid tide. Watch for: open-water sharks, ledges, urchins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Rangoon (Stack) Island?

The Rangoon (Stack) Island profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Rangoon (Stack) Island?

The Rangoon (Stack) Island profile uses wind from W (280°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 235° to 325°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Rangoon (Stack) Island?

The Rangoon (Stack) Island scoring profile favors swell from ESE (50° to 185°), a swell-height range of 1m to 3.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
