Surf somewhere NEW
New Caledonia’s great surf breaks and close proximity to Australia (just 2 hours from Brisbane and 2.5 hours from Sydney) make it an increasingly popular choice for intermediate to advanced surfers.
There is an exciting variety of world class reef breaks consistently offering waves from 1.5 up to 4.5 metres and with winter water temperatures around 22 degrees celcius.
Surf Camps are a popular way to surf in New Caledonia, and enjoy some fantastic French culture at the same time, designed for committed surfers who want to mix some first class surfing action with great food – and the option of other activities.
A spectacular way to reef surf is to stay on board a catamaran surf charter.
Surfing has also seen a spectacular rise in popularity with the creation of the New Caledonian League (Ligue Calédonienne) which organises competitions once or twice a month on the best spots of the West Coast: Uaräi (Bourail), Ténia (Boulouparis), Ouano (La Foa), Dumbéa pass and Amédée lighthouse (Nouméa).
The further south you go, the higher the waves.
