It was always a Dream of mine to  visit the Fijian islands. The day I did, I ended up catching the largest Pelagic fish I had ever caught and surfed the best waves of my life at the world renowned surf break, Cloudbreak. I instantly fell in love with Fiji. Not only is it beautiful, it’s culture and people are friendly, warm and happy. Conde Naste, claims it’s the “Happiest Place On Earth”. I would most definitely have to agree.
With a week vacation under my belt and my endorphins still firing on all levels, I sought out to purchase property in Fiji. That’s when I found Vatuvonu. An ideal 10,000 sq foot piece of property overlooking the surf I just rode and the fish I had just caught. With sand on my feet, walking into the airport on my return flight, I couldn’t wait to get home to call the Realtor and let him know I was buying that lot.
After purchasing the lot, it sat for several years. Then, a very close friend of mine offered to buy into the property with me and help develop our amazing luxury villa. Mike and Katie Hennessy along with their daughter Brisa Hennessy have been working and living part time on the island of Namotu. Their daughter is a professional surfer on the Pro Tour and is traveling with her mother all around the world surfing and competing against the best woman in the sport. Mike spends most all of his time taking guests from Namotu out for the catch of the day. If you’re lucky enough to spot Mike, you may want to ask em for a few hour fishing trip as he’s known to always come back to the island with fish in hand! The stars truly aligned roughly three and half years after I purchased the lot. Mike called me and said, “hey can we go in partners on the land you purchased and build a fabulous home for all of us”? And so the story begins. But to hear it all, you’ll need to come visit us in fiji. Come and enjoy the best fishing in the world, World Class Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, golf, or simply lounge around our glamorous pool while your butler brings you an ice-cold beverage!

The cooler dry season is from April through October and the warm, wetter and more humid season is from November to March. Air temperatures range from the mid 70’s to mid 80’s year round, with water temperatures hovering in the same range, year around
Fiji does receive rain year round but the wet season also corresponds with the South Pacific cyclone Season. Although it is rare to have a cyclone impact Fiji directly in any given year, it can happen, and does typically every 5+ years for a short period (3-5 days) of very intense and very bad weather.
The Fiji islands also have dry and wet sides similar to Hawaii; drier on the west and south, much more rain on the east and north.

As with most of the South Pacific, the seasonal “trade” winds blow from the southeast across the Fiji Islands June through September. These winds can blow relatively strong for 5-10 days at a time, and then often back down for a week before continuing the on and off cycle. These trade winds may not be favorable at many breaks, but each location with which we work has some “fall back” plan in the event of unfavorable conditions.

During the wet season winds blow from the north, which is offshore for most breaks along the south coast. The shoulder months of March through May and October through early November receive light and variable winds producing many glassy days.

The south swell window is generally from March through November while North swells are biggest and most consistent from December through February.

South Pacific does receive southern hemisphere swells year around and it is very rare for Fiji to receive a north ground swell out of season.

To sum it up: If you’re looking for the biggest surf, March through November is the go. Surfers looking for the cleanest conditions and the least crowded time of the year should visit during wet season from December through February.

Many people prefer to travel during shoulder months of March, April, May and September, October, November, hoping to get glassy conditions with early or late south swells.
