Nagigia Island Surf Resort - Accommodation Features

Nagigia Island is one of only three Fijian surf spots that face offshore to the trade winds. The are a number of surf breaks surrounding the island that get swell from different directions and that work at different tides, ensuring that there is always a wave - the best surf at the resort is from April to December.

There are no crowds at Nagigia Island Reefs. It is very isolated and surfers are regulated with resort guests having preference.

Nagigia Island is an idylllic wedding venue.

The Breaks

Nagigia Island Resort has 5 surf breaks. The main break is "King Kong Left". This is a 40 metre long wave that has a take-off in deep water reducing risk of coral scratches. The average size is a 4 ft to 8 ft wave face and offshore, but it can hold up to 15 ft plus. Named King Kong because of the famous 1935 movie which was partly filmed underneath the mountain Nabukelevuira. This mountain is now commonly known as "King Kong Mountain" and it overlooks the Nagigia Island Resort and the nearby surf breaks. This mountain also has a moderating effect on the wind at the King Kong Left break so that it is still operating when other areas are blown out.

The next break is "King Kong Right". This is often 6ft plus face height. This is an exciting very fast tube for the more advanced rider. The trade winds are onshore for this break but the summer wind (North Easterly) is offshore. Best early morning before the trade winds start or late afternoon if the trade winds die down.

"The Bombi" is 10 minutes from Nagigia Island Resort by boat and can be seen from the resort deck.

Then there is "Middle Daku". Daku is the Fijian name for the beautiful sandy beach. In the middle of the beach, 60 metres from the sand, is a coral break. It breaks both right and left but the right is generally better. The trade winds are on shore/across this break but the summer wind (North Easterly) is directly offshore. Best early morning before the trade winds start.

"Little Daku break" is often suitable for the less experienced surfer.

This is also an excellent area to enjoy a free "Getting Started" surfing lesson by their surf guide.
