Center Channel Surf Guide
Center Channel looks better than it is. It appears to be a perfect left and a bowly right, but really the left is fairly gutless and the right dumps on the reef at the end. It is also very wind-affected, which does not make it a good option most days. The upside is that Center Channel pulls in a lot of swell and breaks nicely during typhoon swells that can't get in at Palikir. Plus, it's a fairly easy place to surf for those who aren't keen on big, gnarly barrels like Sokehs or Palikir.
