All the locals are pretty friendly. There arent many people that surf here, just the locals and a few tourists
General
This spot is alright. Pretty shallow, only surf it at high tide. the reef itself is not that sharp and waves not to powerful. Best to surf in winter, as gets pretty bad onshores

Clarification incorrect - I have surfed all three spots. Breakas is located on the point in front of the resort. There is an A fram in the middle of the bay and Pango Point is the next Point towards Port Villa

Great spot. Does suffer from side shore winds as mentioned, but that might change at different times of the year.
was 3-4' and a fun ride. reef only a problem on a lowish tide.
Fantastic resort, so good I bought one of the villas!!
Absolute paradise
