A few kilometers South of Te Ava Iti,
just before Teahupoo, is the small and shallow Te Ava Ino
passage. Here we talk about a left active wave even at a
small swell. The right wave is also ok to surf, however
very irregular.
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.
South-East to East Southeast and
North Northwest to Northwest
- Wind less or equal to
15
knots : agitated water at the beginning of the wave,
calm thereafter
- Wind stronger than 15 knots.
: this spot can not be surfed
East to East Northeast to North
SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
Southwest to South Southeast
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 1.2. 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 m good
conditions.
- Comment : active waves
UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS
West Southwest to West Northwest swells create
closing waves.
Those swells are not good to surf and make this spot dangerous
if the waves are higher than halve of the height of the
good waves. Calculation of the height of the waves for
these conditions are
West to Northwest: H = (H1/3) x
L x O.8
