About this Spot

Uatotoka is a surf spot located in Fiji and Islands, Fiji. This spot is found in the Kadavu Passage, off the southeastern tip of Kandavu, and is only accessible by boat, usually from Nagigia Island resort. The boat ride from the resort takes about half an hour, and the area is remote, so you will likely only share the waves with your boat mates. The surf spot provides right waves. The break is over a live coral reef, so be careful of the sharp bottom. Uatotoka works best with medium to high tide and is known for world classic quality waves, but it only breaks sometimes, so always check the surf forecast and report before planning your trip. The best swell direction is from the south, and the ideal wind comes from the north or northeast. The spot is exposed to distant groundswells, and the wave length ranges from 150 to 300 meters. The spot is usually empty, with very few surfers except for guests from the nearby resort. The nearest surf spots are King Kong Left and Frigates Passage. There are no facilities or parking since you can only get here by boat. The area has a primitive feel, and the scenery on the way includes views of the King Kong volcano. Uatotoka is best for intermediate surfers due to the challenging conditions and the presence of coral. Always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions match your level. When the spot is crowded, respect the locals and follow the surf etiquette. For more details, check the surf map, webcam, and updated forecast before heading out. No alternative names or historical information are available for this spot.
