Falesia Surf Guide
This huge stretch of beach is super popular with sunseekers, but when it comes to waves it's all about the wedgy left that refracts off the breakwater by the harbour. Swells out of the NW or SW collide with the jetty, jacking up into a peak that doubles in size, before reeling away as a speedy barrelling lefthander. Popular with bodyboarders and tube hounds.
