Surfing in New Ireland Province
The region directly around Kavieng has nine reef breaks, New Ireland's east and central coasts also offer the outer islands off New Ireland the same qulaity waves and variety of breaks which means consistently good surfing conditions.
The St Matthias group of islands, Manus Island, New Hanover and the inner islands around the New Britain Province are still raw and full of discoveries. You have access to a variety of rights and lefts that are generally in the vicinity of 3'-5' but occasionally peak at around the 6' mark which can at times test your abilities. The northerly swell season runs from around October to May producing some world-class breaks that can be surfed on any tide.
The surf is generally not as powerful as other regions in the world but you can certainly get sizeable, challenging and even shallow breaking waves depending on your choice of reef break.
