Best Time To Visit Fiji

The best time to visit Fiji is between late October and early November for optimal tropical conditions without the holiday crowds. However our favourite thing about Fiji is the year-round warm weather, 12 months of perfect snorkelling temperatures and opportunities for sunbathing. Temperatures tend to average a high of 31°C through the year, so there really is no bad time to go.

Of course depending on the kind of holiday you want to have and what you'll want to do while you're in Fiji, the best time to visit may differ. You'll probably want to consider influences like the weather as well as school holiday crowds, pricing and the best conditions for activities such as surfing.

Fiji's weather is at it's best from late October to early November when the weather is dry, settled and warm. Being a tropical destination, Fiji weather is generally pleasant and fairly mild through the year, however there is a wet and a dry season. Like most tropical climates, the wet season occurs during summer where high temperatures and increased humidity lead to higher levels of precipitation and in Fiji, an increased risk of cyclones. The summer wet season runs from November to March with temperatures in the low 30's and only dropping to a balmy 27°C overnight. Situated in the Southern Hemisphere, Fiji's dry season occurs during the cooler months from May to September when temperatures remain warm enough to enjoy swimming, sunbathing and a range of Fiji's most popular tours and activities.

The best time to surf in Fiji is between the months of April and October when you'll find the most consistent swell, coming in as high as 8-10 ft.

Between November and March, tropical storms and cyclones from North Queensland create excellent waves and shorter swells, however, the wet season can bring strong winds and tropical rain. This is also the time where Fiji is less busy, and waves will be less crowded.
