Lighthouse in Kadavu Passage is an exposed reef break that does not work very often. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Works best in offshore winds from the north northeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. A reef breaks right. It very rarely gets crowded here. Watch out for rocks and pollution.
