Secrets
Secrets is widely regarded as New Caledonia's best wave and a top surf break in the South Pacific. A long, fast, tubular left of approximately 100 metres that draws comparisons to Macaronis in the Mentawais. Breaks over shallow coral reef near Bourail, accessible via Nekweta Surf Camp. When SSW groundswells arrive, this is world-class.
