South Swell hits Pohnpei!

Reported by Allois Malfitani from Phonpei Surf Club

I guess I missed it for the last 5 years. Not to much of a swell window. Kind of far to check. No one to go with. No where you can look and read the swell direction from land but it happens. I had checked it in the past with no good results. Last week a friend from a neighbor island e-mailed me saying they had a 4 to 5 ft swell for the last 4 days and that I should take a boat ride and check the south side.

The swell was 4 to 5, from the SE and hitting around 20 miles of coast line facing SE and S.
I found some really nice waves. Surfed two of them on beautiful locations, not to mention the GT action!
Heading back today.
