Description

Pitstops - North side of Nyang Nyang Pitstops features a right-hand reef break with a coral and sand bottom, producing hollow to fun barrels up to 1.5 meters. This spot is best surfed at all tides, with optimal conditions from north-west to south-west swells and south to east winds. Often overlooked, Pitstops offers a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for surfers seeking a relaxed session. Located below Pitstop Hill resort, it boasts scenic views and thatched huts along the beach.

Be mindful of the sharp rocks and check the swell before heading out, as the waves can surprise with their shape even at smaller sizes.
