Heading to Fiji the last two years I’ve been slapped in the face by “Hugu” the surf god, so I was very dubious with this latest prediction.
To give you guys a quick insight into why this place is so fickle you have to look at the geography. New Zealand stands right in the firing line from big southern low-pressure systems hitting Fiji. Only a very few systems have the right northern component to squeeze between NZ and Australia and make it all the way up to Fiji. This particular system had the right direction but part of the low pressure was split by NZ making my decision a difficult one, especially considering all the direct flights to Fiji were booked solid. If I was going, it was a 24-hour flight through NZ instead of a 5-hour direct flight. By nature I’m a procrastinator. I can never make a decision on anything so having something like this hanging over my head was
pure torture.
