Passe de Maraa surf guide

Passe de Maraa is a surf spot located in Tahiti that offers a unique experience for those willing to venture out here. It's known for being a bit off the beaten path, which means fewer crowds and a chance to have some fun waves to yourself. The spot breaks over live coral, so it’s essential to be aware of your surroundings while you’re out there.

The waves at Passe de Maraa can be hollow, fast, and shallow, making it a spot for more experienced surfers. You’ll want to catch a swell coming from the south, which produces the best conditions. This spot can handle swell sizes starting from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) and can go up significantly. Most of the waves break to the left, so if you're a left-footer, this could be a great place for you. For the best surfing experience, aim to visit during mid to high tide, and try to get there when the wind is blowing from the east to help shape the waves just right. Just keep in mind, it's really for experts only; you’ll need to be comfortable with fast and shallow conditions.

If you’re looking for less crowded waves, this spot can occasionally fire, especially when the conditions line up perfectly. The channel can bring some interesting opportunities, so always be mindful and ready for some quick turns. Remember, while the lack of crowds is a plus, this spot can be challenging, so make sure you're prepared for what the reef and the waves have to offer.
