I've been surfing Kudat as long as 15 years ago but this year I have spent the full monsoon season hear in Borneo. Im married to a local Kadazan girl and we stay on the beach front at our friends chalet. This season the locals say its been a bit off but I've had enough surf to be able to say its really a place to go for getting away from the hype that now goes with the surfing community. There are only afew local guys from the village (Kampung) AND maybe only a dozen from KK (Kota Kinabalu)
DEC2012 HAD ABOUT THREE GOOD 4FT DAYS , 1-2FT MOST DAYS COMING AND GOING. THE MONSOON FROM THE PHILIPPINES NEVER REALLY HIT HARD ENOUGH HERE.
2013 NEW YEAR HAD GOOD WAVES I'VE BEEN TOLD I HAD FAMILY STUFF TO DO AND MISSED IT.
WENT TO BRUNEI HAD 3FT PLUS SURFING PANTAI TONGKU DURING ANOTHER SWELL, KUDAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
KUDAT WILL NEVER BEAT INDO OR PHILIPPINES FOR SURF BUT ITS WORTH CHECKING OUT IN WET SEASON NOV- FEB ,DEC TO JAN IDEAL
JUNE -JULY KK HAS WAVES. ANY STORM FROM UP NORTH CAN COME DURING THE YEAR IF YA LUCKY.
