Falesia surf guide

Surf: General: This huge stretch of beach is super popular with sunseekers, but when it comes to waves it's all about the wedgy left that refracts off the breakwater by the harbour. Swells out of the NW or SW collide with the jetty, jacking up into a peak that doubles in size, before reeling away as a speedy barrelling lefthander. Popular with bodyboarders and tube hounds. Tides: All tides Size: Waist high to double overhead. Wind: NW, N, NE Swell: NW, W, SW Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy paddle out in channel around the break. Spot Rating: The harbour breakwater refracts swells out of the west, turning them into a wedgy, jacking peak that throws out on take-off producing long, shallow lefthand barrels. Access: Small parking area close to breakwater. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Gets busy on good days. Local Vibe: Competitive when good. Environment: OK, can be polluted after rain due to run-off from harbour. Hazards: Fast breaking, heavy and shallow. Season: Best December to February.
