Wilkes Pass (or Wilkie’s) in Fiji is a powerful, long, and consistent right-handed reef break located northwest of Namotu Island in the Mamanuca group. It offers a challenging, hollow wave that thrives on SSW swells, often holding more size than neighboring spots like Swimming Pools. Accessible by boat, it is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers.
