Best time to go

No month stands out

Good kitesurf days in a typical week, each month, from 2016 on (ERA5 history scored the same way).

Tap a month to see this spot for a trip then.

Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Fiji Mamanuca

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Yaro, 9 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Nadi, 35 km (about 1h 05m by car). Nearest airport: Nadi International Airport (NAN), 36 km.
