Vaiaau surf guide

Vaiaau is a surf spot located near Motu Toamarau, known for its fast-right waves. This spot can be a little tricky, making it more suitable for experienced surfers who know what they’re doing. While it's not the most popular spot around, it offers its unique challenges and can be rewarding when the conditions align.

The surf at Vaiaau works best with a swell coming from the west, but it can also handle some action from the southwest and northwest. The spot is capable of dealing with swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6m) up to larger heights. The waves break over live coral, creating a reef break that peels quickly to the right. The best wind for catching waves here is from the east, and you can expect to have good sessions at low, mid, and high tide. It's important to note that this isn't a spot for beginners, as the conditions are better suited for expert surfers.

For those looking to surf at Vaiaau, timing your visit with the right swell and wind can make a big difference. Keeping an eye on the forecast can help you get the most out of this spot. Happy surfing!
