Not alot of great surf to report on team! Just thought I’d pop in and leave an update with you all, to kick off the new year. Speaking of which hope you all had a great Xmas and New Years, and have some good plans in the pipeline this year? I’ll be back in G-Land in May or June at this stage and hanging around for the rest of the season, its going to be great to get back on board the perfection train! 
OK so on the swell front there is a really nice swell actually forecast for around the 16th, but with strong SW and W winds, and a rising windswell to cross it up some, it really won’t be happening in G-Land, except for down at 20/20’s I’d imagine there’d be some little ones to play on.
Weather wise there’ll be regular showers almost every day obviously being in the middle of the wet season that is expected.. There’s still a hardy skeleton crew keeping care of G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp to ensure its all in order for the 2010 season which is 1st March – Mid November.
I’m currently in Hawaii at the moment on the North Shore of Oahu, and theres certainly no shortage of big swells, hopefully this will mean many big swells in G-Land this season in this El Nino pattern??? Lets hope for big clean waves to get barreled on this year!!!
Aloha from Hawaii,
Jarred

Swell at G-Land is now approaching the rate of 7.5 Feet cycle speed of 13 secs with approximately 214 degrees. The wind at G-Land for the current rates approaching 191 degrees at which this actually makes the direction almost parallel with that Swell waves produced less wear, did not produce a good shovel.
But for a significant wave occurred in the hours 9.51am and 9.52pm with a huge wave of 2.2m to 2.5m. Wave surfing enough to do a search for just the adrenaline and fun.

My goodness!!! Almost an exact replay of yesterday went down today. The main differences were: surf backed off a bit and an elaborate ceremonial sacrifice/offering took place. But the call regarding the fire blazing anew was the same….equally as shocking the 2nd time coming. I still didn’t surf! 9 days straight which, of course, is a lot if your here at G-Land.

I woke up with the strong hope that today would be the day I surfed again. Early morning conditions were promising, just needed the offshores to start up. Fan Palms was about 4 to 6 foot (faces) and rare sets were making it down into Moneys. I continued to feel positive that today I would remember what riding a surfboard was like…haven’t stood on one since November the 8th.

Sorry….forgot to write one up yesterday and by this point in time, I’ve forgotten pretty much what went down. I do remember that the surf was not too good and some of the guys surfed Kongs. Some, by the way, means not all 6 guests surfed.
ENJOY….

The fun, 3-day run came to an end….although….guys were still going surfing. G-Land almost always has something to ride, especially considering where most of us come from. Maybe if you were from another equatorial country would you not surf on these days. But, for Indonesia’s standards, it was small…and when it’s small here, there’s only one place to go. Guys were saying that Kongs was fun, still with some head-high waves but a little weak. I would easily take the bet that surfing alone up there compensated for the lack of power and/or size.

3rd consecutive day of quality G-Land Surf. Backed-off just a bit from yesterday, but “only a bit.” Every day that passes makes me more appreciative for the conditions that we’re getting. There will be that day…probably soon…where I’ll commit to the thought “yeah, the season has switched.” It’s getting hotter, more humid, a few light rains at night, more atmospheric moisture hanging above Grajagan Bay, the monsoon season started off the Philippines, BUT… the offshores are still happening. And that needs to change so I can easily “commit to that thought!”

IT WAS A DAY NOT TO MISS if you were here at G-Land. Fortunately, all the guests got to surf. I didn’t once again. But… fortunate for me, I’m not bummed by it either… just truly stoked for the guests. They got that gem of a day…November 12th 2009 will be remembered by several.
I’ll have to trust the others about (more…)

I have to give credit to the organization… pretty sure it’s NOAA/NCEP’s OMB and affiliates… that exists by collecting data and processing that information into a usable model. Anything up to 2 days out seems to be fairly accurate, beyond that and too many events can happen to change the course of a surfer’s hope.
By noon, sets started to break at Kongs and any stresses from not surfing the past couple of days faded away. G-Land was (more…)

IT WAS FLAT!!!
2.5 feet/7 seconds/220 degrees and it was correct.
Maybe something to write about tomorrow considering the forecast.
Until then…
