Description
Faaroa - Raiatea, French Polynesia
Faaroa features powerful left-breaking waves over a sharp coral reef bottom, making it ideal for experienced surfers. Accessible by boat from Uturoa, it takes about 20 minutes to reach this spot, which works at all tides and is best with swells from the North, Southeast, East, and Northeast.
Located on the East Coast, Faaroa is known for its unique surf conditions and laid-back vibe. The spot generally picks up windswells, providing a quieter surf experience with fewer surfers around. This makes it an appealing option for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere. While the waves can be fun and fast, be mindful of potential dangers such as rips and localism. Always check swell predictions before heading out to ensure optimal conditions for your session.
