Laity Peak is a surf spot located just 22km (14mi) north of Tulear, surrounded by a little bit of nature, including sand and mangroves. The area offers a few hotels for accommodation, making it a decent choice for surfers looking to catch some waves without going too far from the comforts of home. The nearest breaks are a bit offshore, especially the well-known Behakio’s, which means you’ll need a boat to reach them. Just be ready for the occasional engine issue when trying to find one.

The surf at Laity Peak works best with a south-west swell, but it can also handle some west swells. You can expect solid waves that break over live coral, typically favoring right-hand rides. It’s suitable for intermediate surfers, as the waves can reach sizes of up to 3ft (around 0.9m) and are known to hold, especially when the tide is low or mid. If you're lucky enough to hit it just right, you might find some long rides, but timing is important; a northeast wind is preferred for the best experience.

On a good day, Laity Peak can deliver some fun and consistent waves, so it's worth keeping an eye on the conditions. Make sure to check the swell size and direction before heading out, as this can make a significant difference. It’s a reliable spot if you're looking to spend some time in the water and improve your skills.
