Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Labadi Beach?

The Labadi Beach profile favors the recorded tide range, ideally between 0.3m and 2m 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 Labadi Beach?

The Labadi Beach profile uses wind from N (0°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 315° to 45°. 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 Labadi Beach?

The Labadi Beach scoring profile favors swell from SSW (180° to 250°), a swell-height range of 0.6m to 1.8m, and a reference period of 12s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
