Vairao - Iti Peninsula, Tahiti Vairao features a left-hand reef wave that is hollow and fast, breaking over sharp coral rocks. The spot is accessible via a short walk (less than 5 minutes) or by boat, making it convenient for surfers. It works at all tides, with optimal conditions during rising and falling tides, and is typically uncrowded throughout the week. Located on the Iti Peninsula, Vairao offers a unique surfing experience with its mellow waves, making it suitable for those seeking quality barrels without the intensity found at nearby spots like Teahupo'o. The environment is clean and remote, providing a tranquil vibe. While the paddle out can take around 20 minutes, the effort is rewarded with impressive wave quality and minimal crowds. The prime surfing season runs from March to September, allowing surfers to enjoy the best conditions while being mindful of the reef hazards below.
