Maqai

Maqai is a surf spot located in Fiji and Islands, Fiji, off the south coast of Qamea Island near Taveuni. The spot sits about 1,500 meters offshore from Maqai Beach Resort and is accessed by a short boat ride from the resort. The bottom is made up of coral reef, and the spot works at all tides. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. There are five main surf breaks close to the beach, with the right-hander known as Maqai being the most consistent, offering rides up to 300 meters long. This right wave breaks in three sections: a hollow barrel section up the reef, a mellower middle section, and a fun end section suitable for intermediate surfers. The left wave is playful and good for intermediates, but when the swell is overhead, it becomes a barreling wave for experienced surfers. The water is warm year-round, and crowds are usually few, giving you more space in the lineup. The best surf season is from October to May, when the winds come from the north and swells arrive from the southwest and south. The spot is known for its consistent surf, and the quality is considered world-class. The length of the ride ranges from 150 to 300 meters. Always check the surf forecast, report, map, and webcam before heading out to get the latest conditions. Respect the locals, especially if the spot gets crowded, and always follow surf etiquette. Check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and the conditions match your level. The spot is only accessible by boat, and there is no need for long boat rides, as the waves are directly offshore from the resort. No alternative names or historical information are available for this spot.
