About This Spot
Lomaru Point is a beach break located on the western coast of Vanuatu, facing northwest into open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense tropical forest, with a shallow lagoon system and visible reef structures in the nearshore area. Water appears choppy with strong tidal currents visible in the satellite imagery, indicating dynamic water movement through the lagoon entrance.
The spot's key characteristic is its exposure to consistent trade wind patterns and moderate swell from the Coral Sea. Side-shore conditions occur with northeast (45°) or southwest (225°) winds. Current conditions show very low wind reliability (20.9%) and modest average wave height (0.86m), suggesting this location experiences seasonal variability typical of the South Pacific.
Best suited for intermediate kiters comfortable with reef awareness and variable currents. The limited wind reliability makes this a seasonal destination rather than a year-round option. Access via forest limits infrastructure, and the shallow lagoon requires careful navigation to avoid grounding. Strong currents warrant respect and local knowledge before attempting sessions.
