Long Long
Long Long is named for exactly what it delivers—an exceptionally long right-hand wave that can wall up for 200 to 500 meters when strong west-northwest swells push into the Kavieng pass. Often compared to Bells Beach for its mellow, walling character, Long Long rolls in from deep water over submerged reef, offering generous open faces perfect for drawn-out carves and longboard lines. The catch is consistency—it needs a strong swell to break and when it does, it rewards patient surfers with one of the longest rides in Papua New Guinea. Located just 2km from Nago Island, it completes the Kavieng reef pass lineup.
