LEFTS:
Frigates (left): World Class and one of the best surf breaks in Fiji ( some say one of the best lefts in the world)! 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, 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! Boat trip to Frigates takes about 45 minutes with a surf session of approx. 4 hours. If you get hungry order a lunch pack which will give you that energy for a great surf session.
Pipe(left): We also call it Teahupoo! Peaky Lefthander. Pure Barrels. Experienced Surfers. mid- to high- tide break. One of the best surf spots in Fiji for body-boarders. 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’…
Resorts (left): Fun lefthander. Possible surf break for beginners and long boards at the right conditions with smaler swells, around high tide and mellow weather conditions. 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!
420's (left): Great left which breaks on the reef right opposite Serua Rights. Peaky take-off. can barrel right at take-off when the swell is big enough. Can be real fun and around high tide quite long. A super wave.
RIGHTS:
Serua Rights (Right): Great long right hander. Mellow take off going into hollow inside section. On medium days this is one of the longest rights surfing in Fiji offers. Works at all tides. Waves begins to break on outer reef and peels into deep water. Keep cutting way back inside and stay in the foam. Stay with it! Your ride has not finished yet. As you head in towards the inside reef (quite shallow) a full reform/peak will start coming straight at you from down the line. Back door it! Where the boat parks is perfect for barrel photo's. Drop out after that since it becomes shallow.

Black Rock (Right): Right hand reef break at the left entrace to Black Rock channel from the seaside (south). Needs a higher tide since the coral is steep and can get quite shallow. Sometimes barreling right at take-off and can be an exhilerating tube ride. Fast take offs.
J's (Right): J’s is a super hollow, fast and barrelling right hand wave that breaks from 2’ to 6’. It works best around the high tide with off-shore or cross-offshore winds from NE to W. It likes a bit of west in the swell to run all the way down the reef. It's a fun and fast right hander which gives you the immediate pleasure of being able to 'rail-it' into a barrel and get to overhead size making it a great option for our regular footers.
Shifties (Right): Sometimes deep water pyramid like take-off. An outside point of the Reef picks up all the swell and will pick up more swell than any other break around. It 's powerful and thick. When everywhere else has very little swell and waves there will always be a wave at Shifties. It can be surfed at all tides. This is a right hander with a first bottom turn and preferably cut-back straight into the wave once of the pyramid and can produce quite a long run if the wave connects. It can produce verly large waves at take-off and has one of the biggest take-off points of all waves Waidroka has to offer.
