P-Pass (Palikir Pass)
Pohnpei, Micronesia
🪸Sharp reef🦈Sharks🏝️Remote
P-Pass (Palikir Pass) is a perfect right-hand barrel that put Pohnpei on the global surf map. Often called the "cleanest wave in the Pacific," it breaks over coral reef for up to 200 meters with flawless, wide-open tubes and performance sections. The reef is more forgiving than Indonesia or Tahiti. Under small conditions it's manageable, but at 5ft+ it enters another level. Accessed via Pohnpei Surf Club boat charters.
