SHIFTIES (RIGHT)

/in /by

‘SHIFTIES’ – 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 up to 1.5 hours before low tide. Right hander with a first bottom turn and preferably cut-back straight into the wave once of the pyramid and can produce a long run if connecting. It can produce very large waves at take-off and has one of the biggest take-offs of all waves AT Waidroka. IF NOTHING ELSE IS WORKING SHIFTIES WILL TEND TO PICK UP MORE SWELL. TRICKY TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT FOR TAKE-OFF THERE IS A LOT OF PADDLING AROUND, BUT CAN BE A LOT OF FUN AND ALSO PRODUCE EXTREMELY BIG PEAKS DEEP.   BREAK DIRECTION:  S to N WINDS: W, NW, N, NE, E, ESE, SE SWELL DIRECTIONS: ALL SWELLS TIDES: 4-5HRS EACH SIDE OF HIGH

JAY’S (RIGHT)

/in /by

‘J’s’ – a super hollow, fast and barreling right hand wave that breaks from 2’ to 6’.  It works best around the high tide with off-shore or cross-offshore winds from NNE to WSW.  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 looking for barrels! SUPER FUN – HOLLOW VERY FAST BARREL. WHEN J’S IS ON IT’S ONE OF THE FASTEST RIGHTS IN FIJI AND IS A PERFECT PLACE FOR BARRELS. DON’T SIT TOO DEEP AS ITS HARD TO MAKE AND FINDING THE RIGHT TAKE-OFF SPOT IS  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING MANY BARRELS TO SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN WHITE WATER BEING SWEPT INSIDE. DON’T GET TOO DEEP AT LOWER TIDES AS IT GETS SHALLOW FAST. PADDLE STRAIGHT FOR THE CHANNEL WHEN TOO DEEP INSIDE AND MAKE YOUR WAY AROUND.   BREAK DIRECTION:  ESE to WNW WINDS: WSW, W, NW, N, NNE SWELL DIRECTIONS: S, SSW, SW, SSE TIDES: 2.5 HRS EACH SIDE OF HIGH

BLACK ROCK (RIGHT)

/in /by

‘BLACK ROCK’ – a right hand barrel which can be tricky at take-off, but can produce the ride of a lifetime. Best around high tide due to the quite shallow coral reef close to take-off zone. Breaks at the entry of a passage which can pick up large swells. RECOMMENDED BODY BOARDERS WAVE OR EXPERIENCED SURFERS WHEN BIG. BREAKS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF A LEDGE LIKE REEF LINE UNDER WATER. HOLDS BIG, BUT VERY TRICKY TAKE-OFF WHEN LARGER. VERY HEAVY FAT LEDGING WAVE. BE CAREFUL AT TAKE-OFF! (GOOD WAVE TO SURF WHEN THERE IS A BIG PERIOD AND SOLID SWELL, HOWEVER VERY GNARLY).   BREAK DIRECTION:  S to N WINDS:  NNW, N, NE, E, ESE, SE SWELL DIRECTIONS: SSW, S SW, SSE, SE TIDES: 2HRS EACH SIDE OF HIGH    (gets very shallow)

SERUA (RIGHT)

/in /by

‘SERUA RIGHTS’ – Great long right-hande break. Mellow take off going into hollow inside section. On medium days this is one of the longest rights surfing in Fiji offers. Works almost at all tides. Waves begins to break on outer reef and peels into deeper 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. NO WIND OR WESTERLY OR NORTH WESTERLY WIND, AND CLEAN SW SWELL, GO TO SERUA! DON’T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE THIS WAVE AS WHEN IT’S ON IT IS ONE OF THE BEST RIGHTS IN FIJI. LONG WAVE WITH VARIOUS SECTIONS AND GREAT FUN RIDES. EASY CHANNEL ACCESS TO GET TO – HOWEVER AFTER A LONG WAVE A LONG PADDLE BACK OUT. DON’T GET TO DEEP INSIDE TOWARDS THE LOW TIDE AS IT GETS SHALLOW QUICKLY. ALSO GOOD FOR BEGINNERS LOOKING FOR A RIGHT WHEN NOT TOO BIG.   BREAK DIRECTION:  E to W WINDS:  WSW, W, NW, N, NNE SWELL DIRECTIONS: S, SE,  SW TIDES:  1-2 HRS EACH SIDE OF THE LOW (longest window of all local breaks)
