To know before coming

That to bring Between June and October it is advisible to bring a suit of 3mm, the rest of the year  a short and a lycra is enough. The wind sometimes is cold, but the temperature of the water does not go down of 20ºC. Depending on your level, we recommend to bring boards from 6'0 for small waves up to 8 ' 0 for the biggest. Bring wax, a second leash and lot of sun block.

When to come The most difficult thing is to align with the wind in the proper direction, but suring the whole year we have southern swell, which is the most constant and is on both sides of the Island, North Coast and South Coast. Nevertheless, it is stronger in te South Coast. From November through March there are North swells coming from Hawaii.

Waves

Hanga Roa Bay Located in the center of the village of Hanga Roa, the ancient Rapa Nui Polynesians competed in this millenary beach, thanks to a Sport named Haka Honu (surfing over the waves with a turtle form body) and Haka Ngaru (ancient surf). This is the most recommendable wave for any surfer. Easy to go inside and out, small and big though amusing waves. Volcanic lava rocky bottom.

Motu Hava Located beside Papa Pea, in Hanga Roa beach. It is a bit speedier and inclined than the later. Recommended for any level of surfers. Small and big waves, always entertaining.

Vaihu Tubular and very amusing wave. The smoothest of the South Coast, nearly comparable with Motu Hava, though a bit faster. The only disadvantage is that the wave is 200 meter away from the exit channel.

Poko o Hanga vare VareFast and aggressive wave, big tube to the right and big wall to the left. Advanced level, difficult for its entry when it is big.

Hoi Short, intensive, vertical and tubular wave on both sides, left and right. Very amusing. Advanced level.

Tahai Most commonly, this wave, along with Papa, Motu Hava and Poko work more constantly in summer. But this one elevates from 2m to 10 meters high. It is nonetheless a safe wave and very impressive because of its location, in the back of a ships landing stage at the ceremonial town of Tahai.

Viringa O Tuki Located in a cliff with an access that must be made walking, because it has a big slope. It is nearly a secret place. Sand bottom. Depending on the tide and the wind, the beach is also of sand. A very safe place for surfing. Difficult though to find waves higher than 3 m.

Rapa Nui, the Hawaii of the year 3.000 Add your content here

Eastern Island, called Rapa Nui by natives, has a rough geography, without bays and a coast buffeted by larges waves.  Until 1960 when the airport was finally built, Rapa Nui was only visited three or four times a year by ship that anchored at a considerable distance from the coast because of the swell, the same waves that were later discovered by the surfing sport world.

Surfers are beginning to discover the wild island of Rapa Nui in the mide of indomitable waves and sacred stone statues.  For surfers, Eastern Island is still being unveiled.  Each expedition has a new chance to map the waves, wich will certainly have a privileged place in the future.  The island could well become the Hawaii of the year 3.000 once erosion has worn out the rocky bottom of the sea. For the time being, its lonely waves burst over the black lava seabed (mainly on the sout coast).  They show an intimidating power and are observed by stone giants –moais- sculpted by a long gone civilization. Between June and September the southern side of the island is hit by large sweels.  The waves of Hanga Roa on the western coast are less dangerous and are more fun to surf during summer.
