Looks like summer has really settled in Pohnpei. In three days we covered so many locations in perfect ocean boating conditions. Three more weeks until fall starts. Usually this kind of weather comes in earlier in the year but it has been different under La Nina for the last two years and as we are getting into its strongest and third year of La Nina. The winds died out later than usual and we hope they stay lighter through the season. For the last two years tides have been higher than forecasted making high tides look like king tides and last, hardly any typhoons close to us. On an El Nino year you could see three typhoons spinning at the same time above. For the last two years we hardly saw one typhoon a season (usually August to early November is our typhoon season). What will happen with the surf in 2022/23, is a guess. I have seen it go both ways under La Niña. As today different forecasts are showing a powerful typhoon developing below Japan and a few smaller lows to the north moving east/west, a total counter flow to how these lows move. Change of season is in the air and it's looking great. #pohnpei #pohnpeisurfclub #ppass #vacation #surftrip
