Faré Left is a surf spot that requires a bit of a paddle to reach, taking about 20 minutes to get out there. It offers a classic Polynesian surfing experience with long, powerful waves that wrap into the ‘passe’. However, the local surf scene can be a bit intense, so it's good to be aware of that.

The surf at Faré Left works best with south or north swell directions and can handle sizes from 2ft (0.6m) and up. The waves break over live coral and are predominantly lefts. For the best conditions, you’ll want an east wind and can surf during low, mid, or high tides. It's important to note that this spot is better suited for expert surfers due to the wave intensity and local knowledge required.

While you’re out there, be prepared for potential crowds, particularly from locals. Make sure you’re dialed in with your skills to navigate the powerful walls and the reef break. It's a spot that may challenge you but offers a true taste of Polynesian surf culture.
