SURFING FIJI WAVES
In Fiji, good surf points are reef breaks and
to most of the surf points you have to go by boat.
Every Surf Resort in Fiji do surf trips every
day. A world class left, featured regularly in
surf magazines, is located on the reef at Frigate
Pass in the middle of the crystal blue waters
of Beqa Lagoon. Compared to Fiji's Cloudbreak,
Frigate is one of the most consistent surf breaks
in Fiji, ranging from workable long and fast walls
to top to bottom tubes. The predominate southeast
trade winds means it is offshore most of the time.
This wave has something for everyone. Batiluva,
in Yanuca Island, does surf trips to Frigates
every day, one of the best surf breaks in the
world.
www.batiluva.com
"Resorts Left" is a fun lefthander,
good for beginners and long boards and it works
at all tides. You can also find good and fast
barrels at Pipe lefthander, Black Rock, the long
Mata Point right-hander, with inside bowl section,
Serua Rights and Vunaniu right. Waidroka Bay Surf
Resort is the only main island resort that surfs
Frigates and six local breaks. In the northwest,
half an hour away from Nadi, you can enjoy the
famous left at Cloudbreak or the right at Wilkes.
You will be able to go to surf this waves if you
stay at Tavarua Island, Namotu Island, Seashell
Cove or at the friendly Rendezvous Beach Resort
run by Ben, one of the few Fijian surfers and
a very comfortable place to go for backpackers.
