Hi all,
So have finally booked up a Bareboat Yacht Charter for New Caledonia over new years. 10 nights, leaving from Noumea, heading south around the Isle of Pines. Frothing to say the least.
Looking for advice on kiting and surfing (sup and short board).
Which lagoons are best, where the wind is best, and the hardest info to find on the reef breaks.
The best info I have found on surf breaks are:
Some of these surf breaks are:
DUMBEA: Left and Right. The left hander dredges off the reef at low tide making a fast hollow wave. The right is a pretty tame but can be fun.
TENIA ISLAND: 2 Left Handers and a right, likes a big swell but can be surfed when the waves are small.
OUANO: Left Hander. One of the best waves in New Caledonia when all sections are linking up. Favoured by many who get to enjoy her delights.
FAUSSE PASSE: Left Hander. Can be good and barrelling.
AMEDEE LIGHTHOUSE: Right Hander, shallow and sucky. Nearby Amedee island, is a great place to stop and have a look around.
SKATEPARKS: Left Hander. Powerful and growing as it races down the reef. Look for it at the back of Tenia, it breaks inside the reef so needs a decent swell.
ISLE OF PINES: Lefts and rights depending on the side of the island. Hollow and fast.
GOLFIE ISLAND: Left and right hander. Needs a big swell but throws up a mean hollow left and a decent right.
FROGGIES: Left Hander. Short ride there's better around.
ST. VINCENTS: Left hander. Barrelling and will stand up well in a big swell for a long ride.
I'd say we will visit Dumbea pass and Amedee as I know where they are, and they are on route.
Any info on the other breaks, particularly any specific breaks around Isle of Pines, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Sam
