The ideal swell setup for Fiji usually originates from a passage of strong cold fronts extending from the Southern Ocean through the Tasman Sea. This often creates broad areas of south-westerly gales, which in turn generates long period south-westerly swells.

Birds of Paradise
Fri 20 April 12:00am
Gold Coast photographer, Ryan Williams, ain't the sort of fella to go birdwatching on holidays yet when a flock of terns recently flew through the Fijian lineup he kept shooting. The birds make for a brooding, Hitchcock vision against the perfect tropical barrels. Except, that is, for the bloke spreading his own wings in the last shot. Ain't nothin' spooky about him.
PS: I can't confirm if the birds are terns but in the course of research - yeah, I take this shit seriously - I found out there's a bird called a Rough-faced Shag.
