Big Friday

main-bg-3Nice surprise this morning in Nemberala.
Triple over head with the tide pushing in.
Quite a few broken boards and leg ropes for the guys who were under gunned or caught by the bombs which are coming through every 15 mins.
The surf forcast was only showing 3-5ft but it is easily 8-10 with bigger sets.
Boa was unridable due to the strong se Tradewinds that have been around now for the past few days.
The swell looks like hanging around until Sunday, so good news for the crew that are here after some size.

Island style

The west swell opened up options on where to surf today.
T -Land was easily handling the 6-8ft swell with moderate Tradewinds fanning the waves hitting the reef.
Many surfers were enjoying waves that were pouring into the mountain section, with open dry barrels the order of the day.
Our surf guide suggested a trip to an outer lying island, where our guests were treated to a left and a right throwing up clean 3-4ft barrels.
After 2.5 hours of and numerous tube rides by themselves the call was made to return to villa Santai for some much needed refreshments.
So after a great lunch at around 3pm, the the villas own beachside bar was the place to be to top up on the fluids that needed topping up.
We were all treated to yet another magnificent Nemberala sunset.
And so ended another perfect day in paradise.
Let’s hope tomorrow’s dawn surf check brings us the fruits of today.

Solid ground swell

Wave heights at T-Land were double over head with some power behind them.
Boa was the same, with the occasional bigger one.
Swell charts are showing 2 back to back stronger ground swells for next week.
A great start to the surf season here in Rote Island.

April swell continues

T-Land continues to please our guests at the villa.

The forecast for next few days is looking promising also.

Jump in swell

tland lineupAfter a week of good clean conditions here in Nemberala, the surf has jumped considerably this morning.
T-Land is consistent and breaking all the way through, rides over 200 meters are the norm, due to a good ground swell coming out of the south.
Many waves are going unridden due to there are only 8 surfers in the water.
What a great day to be in Nemberala.
