Outside Monkeys.

Outside Monkeys is a right-hand reef break sitting south of the main Monkeys cluster on Monkeys Point in the southern Telo Islands. It breaks over a flat dead-coral shelf with a pronounced square shelf edge. On the suitable tide it can run as round barrels along the reef; otherwise it stands up into open faces for turns. The break handles considerably more swell energy than Monkeys itself, which is its main draw for surfers who find the northern peak too soft. Sideways wash can push the peak around, but once you are in, the walls are quicker and very rippable, paying off for anyone who stays tight to the pocket. Offshore is NW wind; SW swell is the prime driver. Access is strictly by boat from the Telo Islands charter fleet.
