Hauru Point

Hauru Point sits on Moorea's northwest corner, catching North Pacific swells during the Southern Hemisphere summer when the island's south-facing breaks go quiet. This consistent left-hander breaks over reef in a stunning setting—the iconic Moorea peaks rising behind, turquoise lagoon water, and typically uncrowded lineups. While not as intense as Temae, Hauru still demands respect with its shallow reef and occasional shark visitors. For surfers based in Moorea during the off-season or seeking alternatives when south swells fade, Hauru Point delivers reliable waves in one of the world's most beautiful locations.
