An amazing surfing experience is offered directly out front of Maqai Beach Resort. Staying at Maqai you cant get any closer to the waves they are directly offshore – no long boat rides to cut into your surf time – a 5 minute boat ride will have you surfing Maqai.
The reefs in front of Maqai are a surfer’s dream come true. Crowds are non-existent with warm water, lefts and rights. There are 5 awesome surf breaks located close to the beach ranging from world-class barrels to playful learner waves.
The right hander known as Maqai is the most consistent of the waves peeling up to 300metres. This wave peels in 3 sections, a hollow barrel up the reef to mid section , a more mellow wave in the middle and a fun wave for intermediates on the end section.
The left hander is a fun playful wave suitable for intermediate surfers.
When its overhead the Maqai left starts to break this is a wave for experienced surfers delivering perfect barrels.
The best surf season is October – May when the winds are up from the north.
better to go deep n take off on the smaller ones(wall up longer)Line up with a trench(crack on the bottom of the reef)Set's break wider so always keep an eye on them....+Awesome wave as is the Nagigia Resort. Anyone going to Fiji should not overlook it!! It's remote and easily comparable to any other resort in Fiji. Although only the adventures should go. A lot of boating and scary 4 seater planes.+Ideal break for anyone looking to try their hand at a reef wave. MUCH safer than Tavarua etc. Normally surfed on a mid tide plus, so there´s more water under your feet. Gets very hairy when the swell picks up and the tide drops. Offshore in the trade winds. Bring your reef boats. Surf guide on hand at all times. Friendly people on Nagigia island. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
The local resort will transport you out there by boat and drop you there for 2 hours for $20. Depending on the swell direction the wave wraps around the reef creating a hollow takeoff, with a few sections before closing out on dry reef. Its predominantly a right but the left opens up from the take off and is very fast and short before it closes out. Its very easy to get caught by the sets as the water moving around the reef pushes you in around alot.
Be very quick to your feet, set rail and pull in. Race through to the end section and out into deep water.
Desperations Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Desperations is one of Fiji's most reliable reef breaks, earning its name by delivering consistent waves when the rest of the ocean lies flat. This exposed coral reef break offers both left and right-hand peaks that peel off a distinctive hump in the barrier reef, making it a go-to destination […]
charge it at the bowling section, and pull in. Bowl section is when it starts turning around the reef passage. The reef seemed to have a boomerang type shape with lefts going diagonally down the line and a very deceptive looking fast right/closeout around the corner. The inside waves which broke from about 3-4 ft, had a nice open section at the start with a good wall which got faster and rounder the further you went down the line, until it eventually closes out on shallow coral. The sets tended to break in a couple of spots. The usual ones would break just as the inside ones, but about 30-40 yards further out and a bit longer and faster. These tended to be best ones at about 5-7 ft. I saw a few bombs come through which were a couple of feet bigger and went longer, and unriden. Every now and again there would be a few rogue sets which would break wide and more parallel to the reef. These were fast, hollow and makeable but shorter (get out before the end). The sets seemed to come out of the deep and just appear on the edge of the shelf, which made it hard to stay in position for them. And there is no channel to paddle through once caught inside. I also surfed it in fun, small 2-3 ft offshore/cross-shore. A great wave whichever the size.
Cloudbreak Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Cloudbreak stands as one of the world's most revered left-hand reef breaks, a legendary wave that consistently delivers perfect barrels and fast-moving walls that can hold rides for over 200 meters. Located in the Mamanuca Islands off Fiji's western coast, this shallow coral reef pass receives undiminished Southern Hemisphere swells […]
Canoes Surf Spot Guide, Fiji Canoes is a mellow right-hand reef break tucked near Namotu Island that delivers perfect waves for surfers looking to escape the crowds and enjoy uncomplicated, forgiving conditions. This private break sits inside the Swimming Pools area and offers small, rolling waves that peel across sharp coral and rocks with surprising […]
You can paddle out to the break (200m-250m). It's a nice small right that's alot of fun. It has an easy take off but the end is shallow. It's only ridable on higher tides and in waves up to 4ft (any higher and it gets really sucky). Good to ride on anything from a longboard to a boog.
