Eratap
Efate, Vanuatu
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips
Eratap is considered Vanuatu's best and most consistent wave, breaking on a reef adjacent to the luxury Eratap Beach Resort on Efate's south coast. The right-hander can be world-class with long barrels and walls when SE groundswell arrives with light winds. Multiple sections along the reef cater to different levels. Best at higher tides.
