Tourism Fiji – While most of Fiji’s waves break onto the reef and are therefore better for the more experienced surfer, surf schools and beach breaks are also available for keen learners and rookies. You can mix it up on a variety of left and right-handers and are quite often sharing waves with only a handful of fellow wave warriors. No line-up necessary!
Fiji is best known in the surfing world for the iconic Cloudbreak. Attracting scores of surfers each year, even the pros flock to Fiji to surf the incredible 20 foot super swells often enjoyed. International competitions also draw the crowds as spectators gather to watch world champions surf through the heats to be crowned king or queen of the waves.
Year-round but best between the months of April and October when consistent swells as high as 8-10 feet roll in, the surf in Fiji is nothing short of epic.
Windsurfers and kiteboarders alike also love holidaying in Fiji. The warm 15-30 knot south-easterly trade winds blow best and most consistently from April to January and the sandy shallow beach slopes dotted around the country are perfect for all levels to take off from.
Stand up paddle surfing is also popular in Fiji. Never tried it before? Why not give it a go? You can stay at a dedicated surf resort or join daily trips out to the waves from the mainland – heck, you could even charter a yacht and sail to Lau to in search of remote, undiscovered waves to surf if you wanted to! Grab your board – surf’s up!
