Tafatafa is a surf spot located on the southeastern coast, known for its action during the right conditions. It's not a massive crowd magnet, so you can often find some space to enjoy your session. The waves here can be a fun ride, especially for those who enjoy longer rides when the swell is just right. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to test their skills without dealing with too many people.

The waves at Tafatafa mainly break as rights over live coral. It's best on southwest swells, but you can also catch some action on southeast swells. The ideal swell size is around 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters), and it’s worth noting that the waves can get sectional, especially on southeast days. The best time to surf here is usually at mid to high tide, and you'll want the wind to be coming from the north for optimal conditions. Just keep in mind that this spot suits intermediate surfers better due to its reef breaks and fast wave action.

If you’re planning a session, remember that the wind conditions can really make or break your day. Tafatafa shines with the right north winds, particularly either early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The spot seldom gets crowded, so it can be a nice change from busier locations nearby, offering a more relaxed surf experience.
