PNG surf report

Hi guys - here's the latest from Papua New Guinea:

Guys from PNG surf lodge in Vanimo have sent us the following surf report:

Hello The Perfect Wave!

We are in a similar pattern as last week with surf building on Wednesday and then tapering off for the end of the week. All things considered, there are definitely fun waves around the area and the guests are making the most of it.

With just a few locals in the water, we have been scoring really fun head-high+ at both Lido Right and Left. Overall conditions have been almost ideal with a steady pattern of surfing Lido Right in the morning followed by a few afternoon surfs at Lido Left. It may seem a bit routine, but I don’t hear many people complaining about consistent waves. Friday offered relatively small waves but a quick trip up to the waterfalls; fun fishing off the beach and a bit of snorkelling offered a good escape and exercise. Stay tuned for next week’s blog and updates from Vanimo Surf Lodge PNG!

Rubio, Papua New Guinea surf report

Papua New Guinea surf season has officially started!

We talked to our friends at PNG Explorer surf charter, and they are just on their first trip of the season, scoring uncrowded surf breaks.

From Rubio Surf Resort in New Ireland, we have been getting news and photos for a few weeks now. The waves are on, and before the guests start coming in larger numbers, the resort owner Shane Clark surfs the break out front by himself, or with handful of friends and staff.

It has been a great start to the season with swell  but a very slow start with guests. We have our first surfers of the season now. We surfed Bulu for the first time this season yesterday and you can see the results below. My favorite board for Bulu and Kurlies. Hopefully some of our guest will come with boards they want to sell!
