 Informations supplémentaires

Info from surfingtonga.com. "Corners" breaks in both winter south swell season as well as during summer north swell season. However the waves character changes dramatically with the two swell directions. In winter its a very fickle wave and likes a strong clean south swell to really fire. When its on its a favourite with goofyfooters ...... a thick intense barrel rifles across the reef into a distinct channel. Any west in the swell tends to shut it down near the end section but still popular in these conditions with bodyboarders. Length of ride 40+ metres. Wear some rubber. Winter is best for intermediate to advanced surfers. Summer is a different story. Much more of a fun wave. A hollow take-off section barrels for 20+ metres before slowing and offering 30+ metres of fun hotdogging through to an inside (mellow) closeout. A fun wave for all skill levels ..... even beginners. "Corners" is surfable for 3 hours either side of high tide year round.

Swell direction dosent really matter so long as there's swell there shall be a number of quality waves on offer as long as the wind is out of the E-SE, (offshore). when i win lotto im going to buy me the sickest yaught and live around these islands. so many unsurfed waves were visable from the plane flying from vava'u to ha'apai to tongatapu. you could litrally see lines of swell exploding on shallow reefs reeling left and right and spitting like crazy into deeper water on either shoulder. this joint rocks! just dont go telling everyone (hahaha) or it will one day be crowded.

just gotta be there - everywhere in the world every bay, river mouth, outer reef breaks one day you just gotta be there and if your not then so be it, just hope one day you are when somewhere you go does. Thats probly the best expecting the unexpected.......................

Fickle - Went in summer 04, I was pretty dissapointed, if you are heading over I would give yourself at least 3 weeks in peak swell time cause it takes a fuck off big swell to get it working. didn't find locals all that friendly despite best attempts as well. I would very much recommend looking elsewhere for a surf trip
