With Fiji’s warm tropical waters, uncrowded surf breaks and waves to suit all skill levels, many find it hard say no to a surf trip here.Fiji’s famous waves have featured in international competitions and are a “must do” for the travelling surfer. Restaurants, Tavarua Rights, and the world famous, Cloudbreak, are just a few of the well-known breaks you will find here. While most of Fiji’s surf breaks are on reefs, there are a few beaches and surf resorts on Viti Levu where you can learn or improve your skills.
Natadola Beach and the Sigatoka Sand Dunes are two beach breaks where you can easily learn to surf with one of Fiji’s surf tour operators, such as Fiji Surf Co. Matanivusi Eco Beach Resort and the Fiji Beachhouse, on Fiji’s Coral Coast, are other popular surf retreats for surfers of all skill levels.
For those searching for Fiji’s secret or lesser known breaks, head north to Qamea Island. These waves are generally at their best during Fiji’s summer months from December- April. Then there’s the popular local spot, Suva Reef Lighthouse, just a short 5-minute boat ride from the Fiji capital! Boat transfers can be booked at the Suva Yacht Club but be sure to check the tide, as this wave works best during high tides.
Most of Fiji’s surf breaks are only accessible by boat, so be sure to follow up with your tour operator or resort to confirm your transfers.
