Surfing Conditions in Vanuatu
Vanuatu offers perfect surfing conditions year-round, with the best time to surf being between March and December. From December to March, during the hot and humid season, tropical depressions can bring significant swells, much to the delight of surfers! Keep in mind, however, that this is also cyclone season. Popular surf spots can produce waves ranging from 1 to 2 meters high, with lengths of 40 to 50 meters!
