Motu Mahara surf guide

Motu Mahara is a surf spot located near the Sofitel Heiva. It's known for being less crowded compared to other spots. The setting is pretty chill and gives surfers a chance to enjoy the waves without too many people around. You can expect a laid-back vibe here, making it a nice place to spend some time in the water.

The waves at Motu Mahara mainly break to the left and are best during summer. You can handle swell sizes starting from about 2 ft (0.6 meters) and it works well with swells coming from the North and East. The reef setup here provides fast walls, which can be fun for surfers looking for a quick ride. If you’re a beginner, this spot is also suitable since the conditions can be forgiving at low, mid, or high tides, with the best wind coming from the southwest.
