North of Faaone at the estuary of the
Papeiha. The river can create a nice sand bank however it
doesn't resist very long to the swell.
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 to Northwest to Southwest to
South Southeast
Southeast to North Northeast
- Wind less of equal to
10 knots : calm water
- Wind stronger than 10 knots: agitated
water
SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
Northeast to Southeast
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.8. 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 0.5 and 3.5 m
good conditions.
