Tavarua Rights

Tavarua Island, Fiji
⚠️Shallow😮‍💨Hold-downs🪸Sharp reef

Tavarua Rights is the overlooked sibling to Cloudbreak—a 200-meter right-hand barrel that peels along the coral reef on the opposite side of Fiji's most famous wave. While Cloudbreak hogs the spotlight, Tavarua Rights offers excellent tubes in its own right, especially when the trade winds drop and conditions go glassy. The wave ranges from fun and playful to genuinely heavy depending on swell size. It's a reminder that this corner of Fiji delivers quality in both directions.
