vivier and secret
I have filmed several surfers getting shacked up here, it has its days, if you go and you can surf you are lucky and went on a good day, lots of spongers, but it is more a spongers wave anyways

Left and Right
Im here now surfing vivier, works both left and right, but the right is more of a thrilling wave cos it sucks dry when its to big. Also the left is scary and more of a bodyboarders wave, especially on high tide, when there are lots of rocks hidden just beneath the surface (remember: bodyboarders dont have fins....) But ive seen locals taking it all, so if you have the guts, youll get a good ride here either way

don't forget vivier is a left wave to but she's only a bodyboard wave with nice bowl and tube but don't forget rocks and another sea fruit.

no title
vivie has 2 waves, a right and a left. they are both good waves but generally the right is bigger and the left is only ridable at high and droping tides.

I noticed that the report says its a left, however the photos show a right breaking wave

vivier
As said, no sand in this spot : just rocks and urchins. The vivier right is working at low tide, can be hollow and tubular when it's the right swell, but it's seems to be unusual these years. The left works only at hight tide, and is at her best with south swells. A little longer than the right, it can be surfed at 2m, not more : after that, the rocks appears when the wave arrive on them. Hollow take off, then a clean wall and a tube if the swell's right.When you have all the conditions, it can be a very nice spot, if you're ok with the bodyboarders : it became a spongers spot since years.Came in the winter, many less locals in the cold water ! (15°c)But much more swells between november and june.
