Better known for diving, New Caledonia has a great surf potential. But you need a boat: only one spot is on the mainland. The others are far (more than 5km...) all along the barrier reef. Many passes have a surf potential, but swells are not very consistent.
The locals are all super cool even at the best spots and are more likely to hoot you in to one than to kick your ass. The crowds are very thin and mellow even if you dont speak French they'll be cool.

wow - there was some french dude ripping on the Hawaiians. That guy probably just cant cut it. I had a blast down there, well we sailed in there on our own boat. There's a kinda secret spot off of ilse de pine. It's hard to get to and the channel has some ripping current which makes for bad anchoring. But the wave sucks up fast and throws out when it's big. I heard they tow in there when it's really big.

My trip - Third time i came in new caledonia for 10 days surf trip. Always wind early in the morning. The spots are crowded even by the SUP ! Very expensive ! And on first page of the news Scuba divers have seen white sharks ! Come back in France as soon as possible !!!
