Restaurants

Mamanuca Islands, Fiji
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips🏝️Remote

Restaurants is Fiji's hidden gem—a perfect left-hand tube that serves as the go-to alternative when Cloudbreak gets too intense. Named after the resort restaurant overlooking it, the wave offers flawless, mechanical barrels over a friendly reef at a manageable size. The takeoff is forgiving, the tubes are predictable, and the paddle-out is easy via a deep channel. When Cloudbreak is maxing or the wind is wrong, Restaurants often provides perfect conditions. It's considered one of the top 10 waves in the world by those lucky enough to surf it.
