Name: Arue Beach

Arue Beach in Tahiti is an exposed beach break that has pretty consitent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northwest. The beach breaks are all lefts. It's sometimes crowded here. Take care of rocks and sharks.
