About this Spot

Lighthouse is a surf spot located in Fiji and Islands, Fiji. This spot sits near Suva and is accessible only by boat, with the closest departure point being the Royal Suva Yacht Club. The surf break is found south of Little Cloudbreak, on the Lighthouse. The bottom is made up of coral reef, so be careful when paddling out and coming back in. The wave at Lighthouse is known for being hollow, fast, and powerful, with tubes that can be difficult to handle. The spot is best suited for experienced surfers and pros, as the waves can be challenging and the break is not easy to surf. The wave length ranges from 150 to 300 meters, and it works on all tides. Lighthouse rarely breaks, but when it does, it is considered a world classic surf spot. The best time to surf here is during the Southern Hemisphere swell season, usually from April to October, with optimal swells coming from the south. The spot is usually empty, so you might find yourself surfing alone, but always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially if the spot gets crowded. There are strong rips and undertow, and urchins are present on the reef, so take care when entering and exiting the water. Check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The spot is close to other well-known surf spots like Serua Rights, Pipes, Frigates Passage, Beachouse, and Hideaway. For the latest surf forecast, report, map, and webcam updates, check reliable surf resources before heading out. Lighthouse offers a unique surfing experience in Fiji, but always prioritize safety and local rules when visiting.
