Go Explore The South Pacific
This region has more amazing places to visit than you can nearly do in a lifetime. So make sure you get to see a least a few of the South Pacific countries in your lifetime, because you will be forever reminded of the beauty of the landscape and the people. This region isn’t just for surfing. Every water sport is on offer as well as other great adventures! Everybody in The Perfect Wave network has spent plenty of time in the South Pacific, so you can be assured we will be able to give the tips needed to get a truly unique experience.
Generally the biggest and best surfing conditions in the South Pacific are between April and October when the winter storms roll in off the southern ocean around New Zealand and push north through the Tasman Sea onto the south facing coasts. During the South Pacific summer months the seas tend to be calmer but can receive good swells from the northern Pacific storms which hit the north side of the larger islands.
If windsurfing, kite surfing, diving or fishing is your thing, there are fantastic conditions in the afternoon and plenty of hire outlets in Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and New Caledonia.
World famous surf spots like Teahupoo in Tahiti, Cloudbreak and Restaurants in Fiji or Tenia off New Caledonia need no introduction, the hundreds of other uncrowded reef passes in the various archipelago’s probably do, and therein lies the beauty of the South Pacific. There are so many suitable waves for all tastes and levels.
