WEEKLY REPORTS for 2009
Report No: 04-2009
Period: Monday 19th to Sunday 25th January
Monday. High tide 2.35pm. After a real long session yesterday & not a favourable wind today the guests opted for an Island Tour instead of surfing, see a bit of the unique beauty of Samoa
Tuesday. High tide 3.22pm. Tiavea River Mouth was the go today with great head high lefts & rights. Barrels on half the waves & the others let you do 3 or 4 full manoeuvres on the goodies. Clean the whole surf & only 2 crew out, you couldn’t ask for much more. 4 hours in the water.
Wednesday. High tide 4.04pm. After the perfect waves they got yesterday it was straight back to Tiavea for more. Very similar conditions except maybe a touch hollower. Again a perfect peak which had lefts that barreled, & long rights which tubed or you could smash the lip. Again head high & no wind so 3 of them surfed for 4 hours. Another great day with a beer on the way home talking about our great waves.
Thursday. High tide 4.43am & 4.43pm. Quite bad weather today so there was no surfing today.
Friday. High Tide 5.18am & 5.19pm. Once again not great wind or weather so the best chance for a quality surf was to try Tiavea & it didn’t disappoint. Head high sets peaking up with hollow lefts & rights. A light offshore kept it clean for 3 hours while they were out there. If you didn’t get a barrel the wave would let you do cutties or reo’s. Another awesome surf with only 3 guys on it, so stoked!
Saturday. High tide 5.51am & 5.54pm. All guests leaving today so no surfing. Still waves but the south east wind was into it early.
Sunday. High tide 6.23am & 6.29am. 1 staff member surfed out at Resorts in the morning with some head & a half sets. Great waves if you picked the right ones but beatings if you got the wrong one. 1 guest & 1 staff out at Resorts again in the arvo, a bit overhead on the sets & again wave selection was important. Lots of lefts & rights some barreling very nicely. Clean offshore wind all day. Quite a good week of waves.

Still no water camera so thought that I’d send you a closer shot of the Fusi to Boulders section of our fav reef, nice hey. That big bay behind the peninsular is where we used to moor the boat.
Cheers …. George
