(Fiji – Kadavu Passage)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Hideaway
Type: reef
Reliability: rarely breaks
Best Swell: S Offshore Wind: NNE

Hideaway in Kadavu Passage is an exposed reef break. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. The best wind direction is from the north northeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. A reef breaks right. Best around high tide. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Watch out for urchins,coral and rips.

Secret spot? We can hide it!

Visitor Reviews of Hideaway


Chris from AUSTRALIA writes:

Just spent 10 days at Hideaway Resort. Been there before and had it good. This time no surf at all, howling south-easterlies 30 knots all day, every day. Southerly swell bumped up on Fri 21st Oct, probably 6-8ft but real strong cross-shore wind. Paddled out twice early morn on smaller days, but wind up by 7am - waste of time. Can definitely only surf if either side of high tide. Really disappointed.
