Temae
Edit SpotAbout
Insane wave, sketchy atmosphere, scary in the hollow section, can be very dangerous if you fall, pain in the ass going in and out.
Atmosphere:
Don't bring any cameras or photo equipment, locals get pissed. Go with someone who knows the locals and goes there often or you may get hassled.
Additional Info:
Surfers love this wave: consitancy, length, power, quality. It's one of the best wave in Polynesia. Come here if Taapuna is closing out. You can walk to the spot from the airport. This is a very shallow reef: don't fall here.
