The Peak sits just down the reef from Ha'atafu, offering a dependable right-hander that provides the opposite option when you've had your fill of lefts. Working on similar southwest swells from the Tasman Sea, The Peak delivers consistent, workable waves over coral reef with typically less intensity than its famous neighbor. The lower crowd factor (Tonga's crowds are minimal to begin with) and accessible nature make it an ideal warm-up spot or alternative when Ha'atafu gets crowded by the handful of surfers who venture this far.
