nice trip?
You willl need PLENTY of time to find the very few gems. Prepare for cold weather, dangerous slippery roads, very short days etc.
Some more potential offshore if You have a steady boat.
Reef structures are generally too uneven to break well and offshore reefs and islets block of big parts of the coast.
Very beautiful place, nice people. If You like some time surfing in the wilderness it's a nice trip.
