Tacos is located across the channel from Pulau Rau and offers some interesting surf options. This spot can be a fun adventure for experienced surfers looking for the thrill of a fast, left-handed wave. However, it’s essential to know that this area is known for its sharp coral, so keep that in mind when you paddle out.

The wave at Tacos is a quick left that races down a curved fringing reef. It works best with a north-east swell, but it can also hold some north-west energy. The spot can handle swell sizes around 3 to 5 feet (approximately 1 to 1.5 meters), but don’t forget it likes to have a bit more water when breaking. The tides here are flexible, with low, mid, and high tides all being workable. Just remember, it’s only for the experts, as the wave can close out quickly if the conditions aren’t right.

The coral heads can be just below the surface, especially when the waves are in the 4 to 5-foot (1.2 to 1.5 meters) range, which makes it tricky even for seasoned surfers. If you’re thinking of heading out to Tacos, keep an eye on the swell direction and the tide to make the most of your session.
