Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Lebu?

The Lebu profile favors the recorded tide range, ideally between 0.3m and 1.6m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Lebu?

The Lebu profile uses wind from E (95°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 55° to 135°. 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 Lebu?

The Lebu scoring profile favors swell from SW (220° to 280°), a swell-height range of 1m to 4m, and a reference period of 16s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
