We’re now well and truly in the “peak surf season” in Fiji, despite the fact that this year feels like it’s been one continuous peak season. There’s definitely an energy in the water this month and Josh Bystrom, our resident photographer for the next few weeks and managed to fire off the below report…
Tuesday, 21 May started off at Cloudbreak. Winds were moderate from the north early creating less than ideal conditions with wind and chop up the face. After about an hour the winds completely stopped and Cloudy turned on, consistently delivering its famous world-class rides. It was the perfect size with wave after wave unloading on the ledge and little to no wash-throughs.
At the same time, Lefts was doing its best Cloudbreak impersonation (see picture of sam dropping in) with double to triple-overhead clean waves coming through. Wilkes, Pools even mini pools was churning out barrels with a skeleton crew around. Just an incredible day of waves.
Guests are hyped and the forecast says more on the way this Friday.
