FOUR TWENTIES (420’s – LEFT)

/in /by

‘420’s’ – great left just opposite Serua in the same Bay and if Serua turns on-shore 420’s will produce. If the swell is too large for Serua (Serua does not hold large swells very well – it likes medium size at the max.) there is a chance for 420’s to produce as it holds bigger and works with NW winds. On a good day it will be a peaky left with a barrel section on the inside. Easy channel to access the wave and great fun. Shallow on the deep inside. NEEDS STRONG SWELL AND DOESN’T WORK THAT OFTEN. IF STRONG ‘E’ WIND BLOWING AND PIPES ISN’T WORKING, CHECK 420’S.   BREAK DIRECTION:  S to N WINDS: NW, N, NE, E, ESE, SE SWELL DIRECTION: S, SW, SSW, ESE, SE, TIDES: 3 HRS EACH SIDE OF THE HIGH

PIPE (LEFT)

/in /by

‘PIPE’ – We also call it mini-Teahupoo ! Peaky Left-Hand Break. PURE BARRELS. Experienced Surfers. mid- to high- tide break. The SE Trade winds blow cross-offshore at most times during the winter, which produces super barrels. One of the best surf spots in Fiji for body-boarders and those looking for fast left-hand barrels. With bigger swells Pipe becomes a challenge and is a late take-off, with a drop straight into a barrel (best to ‘rail it’). It can be approximately 50 m of pure fast barrel. Once you have made the barrels at Pipe any other wave becomes ‘easy’… HOLLOW FAST LEFT-HAND BREAK, BEST WAVE IN ‘E’ OR ‘SE’ WIND (CROSS-OFFSHORE). PIPE PRODUCES THE MOST CONSISTENT WAVES IN OUR AREA AND IS FULL ON WHEN IT GETS BIGGER. A FAST BARREL TO THE LEFT WITH AN EASY CHANNEL ACCESS AND THE BOAT CLOSE BY. GOOD FOR PHOTO’S.   BREAK DIRECTION:  S to N WINDS: NNW, N, NE, E, SE SWELL DIRECTIONS: S, SSW, SSE (OPTIMAL), LIGHT SW (IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH WEST IN SWELL IT WILL SHUT DOWN) TIDES: 3 HRS EACH SIDE OF HIGH

RESORTS (LEFT)

/in /by

‘Resorts’ – Fun Left-Hand Break. Good surf break for beginners and long boards when smaller and at high tide. Allows surfing at all tides. Resorts can get real big sets with good swell and is a great take-off in deeper water, with a ‘pyramid type’ section which barrels and is fun to get through, after which you have to cut back immediately to stay on the wave. A fun wave, but short. GOOD LOCAL BREAK FOR BEGINNERS WHEN SMALLER AND AROUND HIGH TIDE. SHORT LEFT AND WHEN RESORTS IS ON USUALLY PIPE IS WORKING – AT WHICH TIME PIPE IS THE BETTER WAVE FOR EXPERIENCED SURFERS. IF PIPE IS TOO TRICKY FOR PEOPLE IN TERMS OF TAKE-OFF, RESORTS IS THE BEST OPTION.   BREAK DIRECTION:  WSW to ENE WINDS: N, NE, E, SE, SSE SWELL DIRECTIONS:  SE, S, SSW, SW TIDES: 2 HRS EACH SIDE OF THE LOW

FRIGATES (LEFT)

/1 Comment/in /by

FRIGATES – World Class and one of the best surf breaks in Fiji – can rival Cloudbreak on a good day and will pick up a couple of more foot in wave height than any of the local breaks due to its location 20 km out to sea. SE Trades are offshore so it is a great choice of wave once local breaks become smaller or are blown out due to trades – Frigates will mostly deliver! Frigate’s is a powerful, fast and consistent hollow left. Big barrels, long rides and works at all tides! Most surfers that had a few sessions at Frigates will come back to Fiji to surf Frigates again and again. Longest ride 150 m plus with a relatively easy take-off (unless it gets BIGGGG…), with various sections, down to the last inside section with a hollow barrel (drop out at low tide since it gets very shallow). An epic and one of the most fun waves in the Pacific! WHATEVER SIZE THE LOCAL BREAKS ARE, FRIGATES WILL BE ALMOST DOUBLE ON THE SETS. FRIGATES WILL USUALLY CONSISTENTLY PRODUCE WAVES WHEN IT’S SMALLER LOCALLY. FRIGATES IS A LONG WAVE WHICH PRODUCES CONSISTENTLY AND HAS A DEEP TAKE-OFF ZONE. WATCH THE ‘SCALPEL’ ON THE INSIDE WHERE IT GETS SHALLOW QUICK AND LEARN WHEN TO EXIT THE WAVE – ALWAYS LOOK AT THE DEPTH ON THE INSIDE. WHEN SWEPT INSIDE GO THE LONG WAY AROUND THROUGH THE CHANNEL – DON’T FIGHT AGAINST THE MASSES OF WATER AS THE WHOLE OCEAN PUSHES AGAINST YOU.   BREAK DIRECTION:  WSW to ENE WINDS: E, ESE, SE, SSE, LIGHT N, LIGHT NE, SWELL DIRECTIONS: S, SSW, SW TIDES: ALL TIDES
