The villa on Malolo Island is only a 15 minute boat ride to Fiji’s best known surf breaks including Cloudbreak, Swimming Pools, Namotu Lefts, Wilkes, Restaurants, Tavarua rights and Desperations.

There are breaks for every level of surfer.

The boat captain while you are there, is “Johna”. He’s local very experienced and knows all the breaks, reefs and diving spots.

Fiji receives swell all year round from the low pressure systems that pass under New Zealand. The main swell window is generally from April through October (the dry season), but shoulder months from November through to April (the occasionally wet season) still provide exceptionally fun days.

As with most of the South Pacific, the seasonal South East “trade” winds blow (mid morning to late afternoon) from June through September as the high pressure systems move over the islands, which do give way to days in between which allow glassy or light wind days. There are breaks during these trade winds which are offshore, so the key is to hit the main breaks before the trades pick up, then surf the alternate breaks which are offshore.

The shoulder months of October through to March provide fun sized waves with breaks receiving light and variable winds producing many glassy days.

Many people prefer to travel during shoulder months of March, April, May and September, October, November, hoping to get glassy conditions with early or late south swells.

CLOUDBREAK: a left breaking wave along a reef to the southwest of Tavarua that is separated by about two miles of channel. Regularly voted one of the 10 Best/Most Challenging waves in the world.

RESTAURANTS: this left hand break is not as exposed to swell as Cloudbreak, but sometimes that is a blessing. Perfectly shaped waves break in shallow water over coral heads with waves usually half the size of those at Cloudbreak. During a smaller swell and at higher tides, Restaurants can be any surfer’s fantasy.

TAVARUA RIGHTS: wen the wind and swell aren’t perfect for Cloudbreak or Restaurants, they can be perfect for Tavarua Rights – a fun “user-friendly” wave on the southeast side of the island. Great for shortboarders and longboarders.

SWIMMING POOLS: a right hand playful reef break. Popular with longboarders, Swimming Pools has the speed and power and length to do almost anything on you want.

NAMOTU LEFT: a world-class reef break that’s more forgiving than its fearsome, more famous neighbor Cloudbreak. From 6 to 15 feet, Namotu Left can be the thrill of a lifetime, but from two to 6 foot, short board, fish, longboarder or SUPpers’ paradise. When the wind is going strong side shore, Namotu Left is as legendary in the sailboard and kitesurf world as Cloudbreak is in the surfing world.

WILKES PASS: a powerful right barrel that breaks on the southern tip of a long barrier reef. Wilkes is a serious wave that will test the skill of any surfer, especially at size. With multiple take off spots, the wave on its day is very long and hollow.

DESPERATIONS: farther northwest up the reef from Wilkes Pass, Desperations is a right and left peak that breaks off a point. Desperations is the go-to spot when the ocean is having an off day, but it’s better than 90% of the waves most surfers leave behind at home.
