So far this season the swell has been small for the North facing breaks of Papua New Guinea<\/a>, Solomon Islands<\/a> & Pohnpei<\/a>, however this is all about to change!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A major pulse of NE trade swell is building for next week and will result in an extended run of solid waves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This swell should benefit all the PNG surf spots<\/a> as well as West Papua<\/a>, Halmahera and Pacific Indonesia. Micronesia and Western pacific will also score solid swell. Keep in mind this swell is around 12 seconds so is more like a strong trade swell than a long range ground swell.<\/p>\n

Forecast for Vanimo Surf Lodge<\/a>, PNG<\/a> – pretty similar numbers for Kavieng and Rubio<\/a>. Keep in mind that waves in PNG<\/a> are often bigger than suggested in the forecast so expect double overhead plus at exposed breaks at peak of swell.<\/p>\n

Forecast for P-Pass Surf Camp<\/a>, Pohnpei. This swell is not a classic P-Pass swell which prefers North to NW ground swell. Winds will also be a bit weird in Pohnpei, SW is onshore at P-Pass \u2013 really unusual at this time of year.<\/p>\n

You can see the source of this strong mid-period swell with this broad fetch of strong NE winds covering half the Western pacific.<\/p>\n
