This right wave breaks in a small passage a few kilometers south of Vairao. A very active wave with occasional tubes. With the rather narrow passage, there is a strong current if the swell exceeds 1 to 1.5 m. 

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.

East
  • Agitated water
East Northeast to Northeast to North Northwest
  • Calm water
SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
West Northwest to Southwest
  • Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in meters) x L x 1. 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 2.5 m good conditions.
  • Comment : good waves 
South Southwest to South
  • Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in meters) x L x 0.9
  • With a wave height between 1 and 2 m, the spot is good.
  • Comment : mediocre waves
