When to go
May to October is the more reliable broad planning window for a central Lomaiviti itinerary because Fiji is generally drier.
Best overall window
Annual national weather guidance, not an island-specific metocean measurement.
Outside that window
Generally drier weather for travel and water activities, but surface conditions can still be rough and passages current affected.
Start with the overall answer, then switch only when scuba, freedive, snorkel, or topside timing changes the trip in a meaningful way.
The overall row stays visible so you can compare it against the currently selected scope.
| Scope | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | Overall - Jan: More variable | Overall - Feb: More variable | Overall - Mar: More variable | Overall - Apr: More variable | Overall - May: Tradeoffs | Overall - Jun: Tradeoffs | Overall - Jul: Tradeoffs | Overall - Aug: Tradeoffs | Overall - Sep: Tradeoffs | Overall - Oct: Tradeoffs | Overall - Nov: More variable | Overall - Dec: More variable |
These do not replace the overall planner. Use them only if a specific animal or event is driving your trip dates.
