Surf & More Surf
The long left that put Nemberala on the travel map is directly in front. The wave can be 300 meters + in length with 4 different take-off sections, and is quite user friendly on smaller days. The break can handle any size swell, offering up big walls and some fun barrels off the top (or “Mountain”) sections. Guests can paddle out directly in front of POD View or take the short walk down to “The Harbor” to catch a boat ride out to the break. POD View guests have the option to book boat transfers to Nemberala Left for the duration of their stay. Guests on this program can go out any time from sun up to sun down as many times as they like, whenever they like.
There are 5-6 other very good waves in the immediate area of varied intensity, a mix of rights and lefts whose reefs are a bit shallower and sharper than the wave out front.
There is also an excellent wave for beginners just down the beach appropriately named “Learners”. Best at low tide when the gentle waves roll across the sandbar.
Diving
Guests can schedule dive trips to various sights with the local dive operator. Dive certification is required.
