St. Vincent Pass Surf Guide

One of New Caledonia's longer waves, but less consistent and a bit out of the way. Still, this is one perfect wave, and if you catch it good, chances are you'll claim it to be New Caledonia's best spot. It's more of a performance wave, with ample opportunity for any maneuver you fancy, but there are a few barrels here and there. Lips aren't too thick and waves don't break too hard, so St. Vincent is more user-friendly than many New Caledonian passes.
