WEEKLY REPORTS for 2009
Report No: 06-09
Period: Monday 2nd to Sunday 8th February.
Monday. High tide @ 12:23pm. Another good day of waves at Pebbles around head high, with some bigger sets. The wind was light and variable making for mostly clean conditions with plenty of barrels on offer. The only drawback was a few other boats at the same spot meant a bit crowded at times with up to 14 in the water. Well for Samoa that’s crowded
Tuesday. High tide @ 1:32pm. A trip to The Island rewarded the crew with some good waves around head+1/2 high. It looked good up front and got even better as the tide came in. The wind was mostly SE which is fully offshore and after 3 hrs in the water they started heading back and the wind swung. Stopped at Wakas where with the wind turning so it was now offshore & started pumping. More barrels and walls to whack. Lots of water time today.
Wednesday. High tide @ 2:37pm. The swell dropped a bit over night but with super clean conditions after lunch the crew enjoyed a good fun surf out at Resorts. Right handers up to head high with a good shape.
Thursday. High tide @ 3:36pm. Similar story to yesterday. Surfed good fun clean uncrowded waves out at Resorts again.
Friday. High tide @ 4:30pm. An arvo boat trip to Pebbles in strong offshore winds. It was very consistent around head high with bigger sets & heaps of barrels – sucky and hollow. Good long session with everyone getting heaps of waves. The wind backed off later and it got even cleaner.
Saturday. High tides @ 5:04am & 5:22pm. Afternoon trip to Missions on the north side. Some nice right handers and kept getting better on the upcoming tide fun waves the whole session. Only 5 guys in the water so plenty of waves to go around.
Sunday. High tides @ 5:52am and 6:12pm. The early out front at Resorts but swell was too straight with a wobble in it so a bit average – even though conditions were glassy with next to no wind. So the arvo boat trip saw the first session at Pebbles with not much coming through the end wedge section so better waves out the back. Nice and clean around shoulder high, a few long ones linked through. Next session was at Special K which wasn’t very consistent but when the freak sets came through they were over head high and great shape. It was just a matter of being patient and hoping you were in the right spot when they come through.
