Surfing in Fiji

There are some awesome waves in Fiji for Surfing. Most are powerful, open ocean reef passage waves breaking over coral and should only be considered by experienced surfers.

Reef booties are a must and a helmet can be a good idea as well. For board sizes, take something with a bit more length than your usual shortboard that will handle Indo style power and help you get more waves.

There are only a few spots you can paddle out to on Viti Levu such as Sigatoka Rivermouth, Hideaway passage and Natadola beach. Other spots do exist but to access good waves, it is usually easier to use the services of a dedicated surf resort or guide and benefit from their local knowledge. They can take you out on their boat and have already negotiated access with the local villages in that area.

Best time to go is usually the Dry season (May – October) as the swell is usually bigger & the weather is not so hot, but you can also score calmer conditions during summer – just don’t forget that sunblock!
