Surfing Highlights
Cloudbreak
One of the world’s best lefts which is fun and performance oriented at three foot, but serious at six foot. Multiple barrel sections and power to burn.
Wilkes Pass
Hollow and fast right hander, best on higher tides. Gets plenty of groundswell from the SW year round. Exposed to prevailing trade winds from ESE which blow onshore on the Rights like Wilkes from May to October. Best season at these rights is when winds are often light and variable during southern summer months (Nov – April).
Namotu Left
Classy left exposed to SW groundswells. While not as heavy as Cloudbreak, Namotu still gets plenty of swell and can provide long walling left at all sizes with occasional barrel sections. Side to offshore in the prevailing ESE trade winds when the swell is most consistent in the southern winters months of May to October. Namotu is a year round wave and can be excellent when wind is light and variable from November to April and SW groundswells and SE swells occasionally pulse. Watch out for strong currents on the outgoing tide!
Mini Cloudbreak
Powerful, fast wave. The best wind direction is south-east. Best around high tide.
Lighthouse
South of mini-cloudbreak, near the lighthouse. Unfortunately, this one rarely breaks, but when it does, it’s for pros or kamikazes only. Hollow, fast and powerful with a right and a left.
Restaurants
Long, hollow super-quick left in front of Tavarua Island. The Walls go on forever, try and keep up. Best with solid SW groundswell – when Cloudbreak is huge, Restaurants is often epic at half the size! Offshore is ESE trade winds during winter months when swells are most consistent. The strong swells required for Restaurants to break properly are less frequent, even rare in the summer months from November to April.
