Parea

Huahine Iti, French Polynesia

🪸Sharp reef

YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Parea is a more mellow reef break on southern Huahine Iti, offering an intermediate-friendly alternative to the intense Fare passes in the north. A right-hander that catches S-SW swells, it's popular with hotel guests and visiting surfers looking for quality waves without the heavy localism of Fare. Beautiful setting on the quieter half of Huahine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Parea?

The Parea profile favors mid tide, ideally between 0.5m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Parea?

The Parea scoring profile favors swell from SSW (170° to 240°), a swell-height range of 0.6m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 13s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.

When is the best time of year to surf Parea?

The main season at Parea is May-Oct. May-Oct south swell season.

How do I get to Parea?
