WEEKLY   REPORTS  for    2009

Report No:    03-09

Period:           Monday 12^th till Sunday 18^th of January

Monday.  High tide 7.48am.  Out @ Resorts for an early which was real peaky offering good lefts & rights. Everyone got a few barrels & plenty of turns. They surfed for about 3 hours in the morning and then about 2 hours in the arvo. Again more turns than barrels & longer rights than lefts. Head high sets.

Tuesday.  High tide 8.39am.  Pretty much the same as yesterday, again longer rights than lefts, not too many barrels mainly turns. With a heap of west in the swell Resorts was pretty much the pick of waves on the whole island.  

Wednesday.  High tide 9.30am.  Today they headed over to Tiavea to try the Rivermouth. It had head & a half high sets, way better rights than lefts, a few barrels & a heap of manoeuvres on offer could be done. Only 3 guests out & they were all stoked with there 3 hours in the water.

Thursday.  High tide 10.31am. Once again back out Resorts for a morning session which was head high & still heaps of west in the swell, making longer rights than lefts. Not epic but still a heap of fun with only 5 guys out.

Friday.  High Tide 11.36am.  Boat trip to Pebbles cause the west wind of the past few days was gone & had swung back to easterly. Head high with a few bigger sets meant there were some round spitting barrels to be pulled into on the inside. The outside section had some nice long waves also. Our body boarding guests were super stoked & lapped it up for 4 hours.

Saturday.  High tide 12.41pm. They headed off to Tiavea today & surfed Missions which was head high & really barreling hard. Super sucky takeoffs and a few closeouts meant wave selection was important, if you waited a little there were some perfect tubes to get into. Well worth the mission to get there.

Sunday. High tide 1.42pm.  Y Tops was the go today & it was on.  Head high and real glassy with long lined up swell producing some sick waves. Only 5 in the water for more than 5 hours & got a heap of great waves. It was rippable on some allowing you to do 3 or 4 turns, while others had perfect pits. Everyone real happy with there surf.

Photos   

Sorry no surf shots this week, all our cameras are trashed & hopefully we’ll have some new cameras by early February. BUT I have attached a shot of our fav part of the south side reef looking east from just east of Sa’Moana right thru to Boulders headland. So if you know where to look you can locate Special K’s, Pebbles, Wakas, Barra’s, Coco’s, Inside and Outside Siumu, Sa’Aga Rights and Boulders. There are a few are a few other potentials in this strip that we haven’t surfed yet.  Enjoy !!!

Cheers …. George
