Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands is an archipelago of rain forest clad mountainous islands and  low-lying coral atolls. The Solomon Islands are serviced by Solomon  Airlines. The main international gateway to this area is Australia where you  connect from Brisbane to Honiara.

The charm of the Solomon Islands is in its limited development and their desire  to keep it that way.There is a selection of small resorts in isolated locations, accessible by light aircraft.

WHERE IS THE SURF

Gizo is an Hours flight from Honiara and is the capital of the Western Province with a town population in  excess of 2,000.  Surrounding Gizo  Island, there are endless blue lagoons, coral cays, and volcanic and crystal bays; all with their own unique

character and tropical paradise delights. Island style feasts, exciting  entertainment and Solomon Islanders will certainly ensure a  memorable stay on this most beautiful  island.

WHEN TO GO THERE 

The best time is between end of November   and late April, when the North/ Westerlies kick in. The remainder of the year is less   reliable but can be excellent during times of no wind. If there is a cyclone somewhere off the Australian East coast the swell can be up to 20 feet but usually varies between 2 and 8 feet .            

THE BREAKS 

Titiana is located around about 15 minutes by boat from Sanbis Resort, a left hander, best on a southeast swell. It can be surfed on both high and low tide, has an average size of around  2-15ft. Paelongge, a right hander is a further 10 minutes by speed boat with similar conditions.

Surfers should  consider bringing spare fins, a spare leg rope and of course wax when surfing in The Solomon Islands.
