Where to surf in Federated States of Micronesia

Within the Micronesia region of Oceania, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), lying more than 5000km (3,200 mi) southwest of Hawaii, contain the most documented spots. The FSM is made up of more than 600 islands scattered across over 3.9 million square kilometres (1.5M sq/mi) of the western Pacific, divided into the four states of Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae and Pohnpei which includes the poster pin-up righthander of P-Pass.

Northern Marianas and Guam

The Marianas include populous, localised Guam, which is inconsistent, but when it fires, it’s hollow, fast and very, very shallow at breaks like Ricks, Boat Basin and Merizo. Saipan has a handful of breaks too and both islands prefer NW and W typhoon swells at west coast reefs. Kosrae has enough breaks in the coral fringe on all coasts to make it worthy of investigation.
