Hazards

Sharp coral reefs and rocky outcrops in shallow water around the breakStrong currents and choppy ocean conditions typical of exposed reef passesShallow water hazards near the break requiring precise positioningSudden wind shifts common in tropical island environments

Launch notes

Launch from the beach in SE/SSE winds which are most consistent; avoid launching during choppy conditions without reef knowledge as shallow areas require careful entry and exit through safe channels.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 13-17m kites for the light average wind (10.5 kts); a wave board or directional board is essential for the choppy ocean conditions and to handle the reef break dynamics effectively.

Clothing · A 3/2mm springsuit is suitable for year-round Fiji warmth; bring a rash guard for sun protection and light coverage in the tropical heat.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local property and reef access rights; coordinate with other kiters to avoid the break during peak wave windows and give surfers priority when waves are good.

Additional notes

Best conditions occur August-September with SE trade winds; local knowledge of safe entry/exit channels through the reef is critical for this expert-only spot. Hire a local guide on your first visit to understand the break's specific hazards.
