It doesn't break often. The wave is hollow and very fast. The water is shallow. If you have not the required level : stay on the beach !
It's a very popular beach break excellent to learn surf. Waves are longs mushy and powerless. It's a fun beach break either.
It's with Paparaa the best beach break at Tahiti. The Sandbar is often excellent and produce tubes. It holds big swell. The water here is often cold. Don't surf here after big rains (sharks and infectious pollution). If no locals are surfing: stay out the water.
The left is only working with a big north swell. The right is working even the swell is small. The right is dangerous because of the shallow water (a young bodyboarder died here in 1996 : he hit the bottom).In fact, the only real interest of the spot is that it's a very good indicator to know where to surf.If only the right is breaking : the swell is small and from N to NE, go to the North coast.If the right and the left are breaking : the swell is big and from NW to NE, take your gun and go to the North coast.If only the left is breaking : the swell is big and from W to NW, go to the South West coast (Tapunaa will have difficulty to work).
SeDifficult to acces
Few surfers went to this f***kin' spot
It work few days per year but perfecttttt
The Right:Towin wave. Only breaks with a typhoon coming from Samoa (West swell) with a huge swell (20 ft). Discover and surf by Poto, Raimana Van Bastoler and Manoa Drollet. It's shallow. This break may not have a reputation like its big brother Teahupoo but it can get pretty dam knarly so only dare to surf it if you have experience on your side.The Left:Usually it's a left with S to SW swells accessible by paddle. You will be alone, all the kids stay at Paparaa beach-break. It's a big bowl with tube. Be careful at the end of the wave. The good point, if you are taken by the wave, you finish in deep water.
It's a fun right point break. There's always something to surf here. Come here when the NE wind is blowing and the other places are closing out.
It's the most popular beachbreak on Tahiti and it's the only good beach break on the West Coast.The waves are not always regular in their shapes but you can have good ones (tubes etc...). A lot of new and good tahitian surfers are coming from here. It's also the right place to learn to surf. When reefs are too big for you can surf here. When Paparaa is also too big, go to the Sapinus Beach Break or Paea.
Park on the East side of the road. There is a dirt lot with a big shade tree. Break is directly in front of this lot. You will see a small tree lined point to the right when facing the ocean. Be prepared for a long paddle out at high tide or a long walk in if the tide has drained while you were out.(surfing here is not recommended at low tide anyway) Paddle around the reef through a well defined channel then to the left. Watch a few sets to determine where you should take off from. The wave is decieving. You will find that it is more makeable than it looks, and can take off deeper each time. The deeper you take off, the more speed you can get through the extremely fast inside bowl. Look out for dry rocks popping up if you ride too far inside.
