I leave straight after the school holidays. Turning the Big FIVE 0 on Namotu Bula Vinaka get Flyblown at the Wanga Bar with Scotty and Dano if he's there ( Help Me Please Mr Wizard )
If you're staying at Plantation I think it's about $90 for 3 hours for a boat so just throw your surfboard and SUP on board so you don't miss out Namotu Lefts is such a great wave to SUP.
Plus I'm so looking forward to seeing the look on Ulai's face when Greg my Californian mate gives Ulai a brand new surfboard I just hope Cloudbreak is pumping for Ulai.
Wish you was staying on Namotu Island it's the best place on the planet to be.

Well nothing is going to Fiji at the moment all flights cancelled by government decree this afternoon I have a crew at the airport finding a hotel. 
They may be here a while.

Not a bad way to be spending your 50th! If Dano is there I might be able to come ashore and have a beer to help ya celebrate!
We have worked out a special deal for the boat ride so if conditions permit we should be doing 2 trips per day. Cant wait.
Yeah I wish I was at Namotu as well....but got the first kid due in July so a last minute budget trip was all I could get passed.
Bummer about the rain they are getting at the moment, that will be history come the end of the month! Fingers crossed.

Swell is looking mental! Wind looking mental as well but the tail end of the swell could be pretty damn good.
I hope you have a good trip...thats if you get there.

You sure got the life DW. This is as close as I will get to Fiji this year. Next year 3 week family holiday for sure and will make it to Namotu finally. Have a great 50 mate. Shot taken from Plantation with Namotu on right and Tavarua to the left.

Magic Seaweed is saying 15ft+ for Namotu. Not sure if they take the direction into account.
Either way there's a lot of water moving around out there that will be hitting somewhere.

Surfline had Namotu at 19-21ft yesterday, Frigates 25-29 ft, Victory at sea conditions, wrong winds not that you would be out there anyway LoL, Namotu Island would be reshaped a bit I reckon

A sunny day is forecast...been a while.
I hope this brings some cheer to the locals who I'm sure are busy cleaning up mother natures mess.
Surf forecast looking a bit more normal now, fingers crossed thats the end of the crap weather.

Hi Warddy yes I believe Frigates would be 25-29ft as its in the North of Fiji right infront of the storm

Downwinder, Magic seaweed is saying Namotu is 2' to 3' the next few days then a day or 2 of roughly 6'+ with maybe an 8ft day. Swell direction is from the SW.
So what does that forecast mean?
Namotu what size?
What swell direction is best?
What wind direction is best?
I'd be stoked with 4' to 6' but would be more than happy with 3' to 4' as long as the wind isn't out of control.
I'll be happy to just get a surf trip in before the bub comes!
Cheers!

SW is a great swell direction it will be pumping every where the more South in the swell the better Cloudbreak will be Pumping just watch out for the wide ones at Cloudbreak if its got some west in the swell (Help Me Please Mr Wizard).
ESE wind is Off Shore for Cloudbreak thats the dominate wind
North wind Off Shore for Wilks
The more West in the swell Wilks and Tavarua Rights will be just Pumping
a 10+ft South Swell you will start drooling as Restaurants and Homes will be breaking.
Swimming Pools is a first class wave it doesn't get bigger than 4ft just mutant
