Surf: Out on an exposed, hammerhead reef, Venus follows the trend of Tahitian rights by being shallow and sketchy, requiring more than a little skill to negotiate the rapid tubes. Needs a small to moderate NE swell and S quadrant winds as it will get out of control in bigger swells. Low consistency and moderate crowd. Environment: Further east, there's more waves at PK 15, Rocky Point and the less challenging beachbreaks west of Papenoo.
