Surfing Fiji / General information

In Fiji,

good surfing points are reef breaks, and to most of the surfing points you have to go by boat in Fiji.

We do Fiji surfing trips by boat every day.

Most of the time, we depart surf trip early in the morning in Fiji. Daily surfing trips duration normally between 2 to 5 hr., so surf till you drop.

We have a resident surf instructor if you ever want to learn how to surf in FIji.

For beginners, we choose some easy points in Fiji. A lifeguard accompanies all surf trips. We also have surfboards for rent and for sale. We have short boards but no long boards.

Fiji surf point guide / Wilks passage


10 minutes boat ride/ Regular

Fiji's world class righthander, same quality of waves as the famous Cloudbreak wave.

An open-ocean reef-pass wave northwest of Namotu Island, totally exposed to swell and all wind, rising straight out of very deep water at the southern tip of Malolo Barrier Reef. It's a fairly reasonable take-off followed by a long, warping wall with some great speed sections, ending in a shallow bowl. A good regular-foot's alternative to Namotu Left or Tavarua.

The best wind direction is northeast.Best around high tide .normal length is long.
