Vivier surf guide

Vivier is a surfing spot known for its challenging conditions, making it more suitable for seasoned surfers. The waves here can be both exciting and tricky, and when the swell is just right, this place can attract quite a crowd. The area is surrounded by gnarly rocks and urchins, adding to the overall rugged vibe of the spot.

The surf here features a low tide right-hander and a high tide left-hander, both breaking over uneven reef. The waves can get hollow and pack a punch, especially the left when there's a solid south-west swell. You're looking at optimal swell directions coming from the south-west, but it can also handle some north-west swells. With a swell size of around 2ft (0.6m) to bigger, this spot tends to work well at low, mid, and high tide, but keep in mind that it’s definitely for expert surfers only.

When planning your surf session, keep an eye on the wind; north-east winds are preferable here. On busy days, expect a mix of surfers and bodyboarders, especially when the left is firing. Given the rocky environment, be prepared and watch out for the urchins while you enjoy your surf.
