WEEKLY REPORTS for 2009
Report No: 2-09
Period: Monday 5th till Sunday 11th of January.
Monday. High tide 1.53pm. No surfing today with quite a small swell up to waist high but really clean.
Tuesday. High tide 2.49pm. Still small waves out @ Resorts so they headed to the North Side to Tia Vea. An east wind meant the only option was Missions which was waist to shoulder high with a few bigger ones. A bit of a slow start but it got a heap better with a rain squall making turning the wind fully offshore. The 2 guests happy and guide very with the surf.
Wednesday. High tide 3.45pm. Again tiny waves and swell so no surfing today.
Thursday. High tide 4.40pm. After a relaxing morning, a paddle out at Resorts was on the cards for after lunch. Waist to shoulder high rights were on offer, a little small but very surfable and fun.
Friday. High Tide 5.16am & 5.33pm. Dawn patrol to Tia Vea, which, oddly for the prevailing conditions was completely blown out at 6am. A boat trip to Coconuts in the arvo also was average and they ended up back at Resorts which was by far the pick on pretty much the whole island. Real west swell making some extremely long rights which were racey for 50 or more meters.
Saturday. High tide 6.08am & 6.27pm. Resorts was the spot for an early and was clean and head high. Fun rights mainly but still a few lefts about, and the crew got a few hours in the morning. Followed by an arvo session which looked like it was going to be all time. Real peaky with long rights & sucky lefts with quite a few barrels & again a heap of turns were done. Everyone got a heap of great waves and were stoked as.
Sunday. High tide 6.59am & 7.18pm. Again out Resorts which got better as the day went on. 2 guests surfed for about 3 hours first thing in the morning and were straight back out there as soon as the tide was high enough. Pretty much smoking with offshore wind and consistent lefts & rights. A few barrels but mainly a heap of turns and because of the westerly swell the rights were super long. Head and a half high sets and great shaped waves meant the whole crew at Sa’Moana were stoked.
