Additional Surfing Infos
 better to go deep n take off on the smaller ones(wall up longer)Line up with a trench(crack on the bottom of the reef)Set's break wider so always keep an eye on them....
+
Awesome wave as is the Nagigia Resort. Anyone going to Fiji should not overlook it!! It's remote and easily comparable to any other resort in Fiji. Although only the adventures should go. A lot of boating and scary 4 seater planes.
+
Ideal break for anyone looking to try their hand at a reef wave. MUCH safer than Tavarua etc. Normally surfed on a mid tide plus, so there´s more water under your feet. Gets very hairy when the swell picks up and the tide drops. Offshore in the trade winds. Bring your reef boats. Surf guide on hand at all times. Friendly people on Nagigia island. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Very beautiful(classic) break in front of mountain's n water is crystal clear n warm(like a bath)Surf as long as u want....
+
Only the resort Guests have acces to it!! Only 5-7 bures. Good for couples. That means no more than 6-8 guys on it at a time. EPIC.
+
Had the best waves of my life, and the best holiday of my life at Nagigia. Uncrowded - the only surfers out will be island guests. All the fun of reef surfing with none of the hassles. Access available - weather and swell direction permitting - to a cracking right hander, Uokatokou. Beginner reform break near the island too for the missus.
  General Beautiful scenery...
+
Unreal, and the tuna fishing is insane.
+
Well worth the trip. Highly recommended to surfers of all ages and abilities. Something for everyone, including me, a fat mini-malibuer.

Having spent a week at Nagigia surf resort all that can be said is its along way to go to get ripped off.
The wave is not what they claim.
It did not even break when i was there, however on their website they posted photos of a 4 to 6 foot wave with off shore winds.
p.s.management are tools, the food poisoning was bad
Spend your money elsewhere !!!!!

This wave is owned!
Forgot to say - if you try and surf here without staying at the resort, locals will come out from the island and make you get out of the water. They will take you to the local cheif who will force you to pay money (or ciggies or alcohol). If you refuse they will probably get voilent. It seems the surf resort has done a 'deal' with the village to guarantee the wave can only be surfed by their guests. Even if there is nobody else surfing the wave, the local Fijiians will chase you off. It really sucks. Fiji is one of the only places in the world where people literally own the waves.

Watch out for the PR spin...
Guys, seriously, this wave is hardly ever any good. It's a very short ride that generally closes out. All these pix are from the rare occassions when it looks really good - but the reality is that all you usually get is a steep drop and then nothing. All the bullshit comments on here about it being a world class wave are most likely written by the guys who own the only resort nearby. They're also the guys who take most of the pix. Don't trust them - the wave is very average.
