Character
01Fitenia is defined by long left-hand volcanic-reef sections over volcanic reef. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02W–SW swell, ne–e offshore and mid to high · rising form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.1 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to volcanic reef, shallow inside, crowded lineup. Local signs and advice always take priority.
