Nua is a surf spot known for its left-hand waves. It works best with SouthWest swells and can handle swell sizes starting at around 3ft (1 meter). The spot is mostly surfer-friendly during mid to high tide, making it a popular choice when conditions align. If you’re looking to get some good rides, the ideal wind direction is from the NorthEast, which helps create those pocket waves that surfers love.

The waves at Nua can get fast and hollow, especially as the tide drops. This means it’s not the place for beginners, as the heavy conditions require experienced surfers to navigate effectively. Be ready for some action, as the reef can become exposed and tricky to ride over when the tide goes out. The setup creates a powerful left that can be quite fun for those who know what they’re doing.

Given the nature of the break and the wave type, Nua is definitely suited for expert surfers only. The combination of live coral and the changing tides means you have to stay sharp while you're out there. Keep an eye on the conditions, and make sure you’re prepared for some serious surfing.
