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.

SSH Surf Destinations(s)

SSH have recently established our own surf lodge at Tunnung Island which is a partnership with local landowner Clement Anton. We have intentions to continue to expand throughout New Ireland Province in the near future as we believe that New Ireland is potentially a surfing mecca and with SSH's Kori Chan being a local New Irelander, our intentions are to establish such faciities in conjunction with local landowners and family on the island.

Clem's Place is just a three hour speedboat ride from Kavieng. Clem's Place is situated on Tunnung Island which is a small remote island north of the mainland of New Hanover in the Three Island Harbour area. Ideally located amongst some of the most pristine waters PNG has to offer, these waters are home to some of PNG's best waves, diving and fishing. If your idea of fun is to be on a remote island surrounded with all your creature comforts and having the opportunity to get into some of the most beautiful water environments of PNG, then Clem's Place is the perfect for you.
