Lidos Right (Vanimo)

Lidos Right is an exposed right-hand point break off Lido village with long, peeling walls that can connect for very extended rides. The wave breaks over a reef bottom and is described as friendly and walkable at the take-off area, making it approachable for intermediate surfers who want consistent right-hand shape. Swell is generally best from the north and northwest, with reported working swell sizes averaging around the 2–6 ft range (and described as reaching about 8 ft, occasionally higher). On solid NW swell, rides can extend roughly to 150–300 meters when sections link up, and the break is known to hold its shape as swell increases. Wind-wise, south winds are the key: offshore flow from the south (including SW/SE) grooms the wave and is described as producing excellent conditions. The pattern is often calmer in the morning with offshore tendencies, then light sea-breeze behavior developing later; wind reliability is still noted as low, so on-the-day wind checks matter. For safety and access, the spot operates under a surf management plan with strict limits on visiting surfers (daily caps and related fees). Hazards include rocks/shallow reef and sea urchins, with strong tropical sun and malaria risk noted for the region. No lifeguards are reported, and rescue is limited—visitors should plan accordingly, wear reef protection (booties are recommended at lower tides), and stay hydrated.
