 Located close to the estuary of the
Mapuaura at Faaone. One of the most beautiful beach waves
at Tahiti. At its best after a strong East to South-East
wind. Even with just a regular sea wind, the wave remains
interesting, however this location is not very often good
to surf.
FAVORABLE WINDS
If the wind is feeble, less than 5
knots, all wind directions are good for surfing. For other
conditions please find hereafter the wind directions with
specifications.
North North-West to North-West to
South-West to South-East
East South-East to North
- Wind less than 10
knots : calm water
- Wind stronger than 10 knots: agitated
water
SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
East North-East and South-East
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.5. For the calculation of the wave
height, the coefficient "L" depends on the wavelength
of the swell. Use 1 for short swell, 1,5 medium swell
and 2 for long swell.
- Wave height between 1 and 4 m good
conditions.
- Comment : funny waves.
East to East South-East
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.7
- With a wave height between 1 and 4 m,
the spot is good.
