An open-ocean reef-pass wave northwest of Namotu Island, totally exposed to swell and all wind, rising straight out of very deep water at the southern tip of Malolo Barrier Reef. It's a fairly reasonable take-off followed by a long, warping wall with some great speed sections, ending in a shallow bowl. A good regular-foot's alternative to Namotu Left or Tavarua. The best wind direction is northeast.Best around high tide .normal length is long. 10 minutes boat ride from Surf camp Rendezvous Fiji.
