La Nina has provided us with a very ordinary summer and spring. We seldom saw the reliable NorEasterlies we generally get in the hotter months. Now that Covid is mostly slowing down, I'm considering a short break overseas. Where is a good place to get reliable moderate onshore winds during our Autumn/Winter without big swells that won't cost an arm and a leg? Bali, Thailand, Fiji?

Interested to hear any suggestions.

Thanks.
PS Will probably fly with my board and gear rather than rent.

Will have to be northern hemisphere, the best would be Maui but it is exxy.

A wind foiling friend went to Mexico but it's not cheap to get there.

Mauritius is a good option. Long way to go from the east coast though.

Wasn't really comparing to anything but maybe Fiji seeing as you asked.

I went to Fiji last year & am heading back there again this July.
I was advised to try Natadola- beautiful bay but no wind. Ended up on the tiny island of Nanui-i-ra to the North, where there was consistent 15 knots every day. I can highly recommend McDonalds Cottages for v reasonably priced accommodation. I've heard Safari Lodge is good too.

That's literally the only place I can think of that works that time of year and is closer. Maybe Green Island?

Listening to a podcast with the guy from North. He was raving about the Phillipines where they do development testing. Used to be such a popular place in the 80's - really cheap but you don't hear much about it now.

But what time of the year? I asked my coworker from there and he said it's windless during summer.
