slightly bigger ripples
The southerly wind overnight pushed up a wee bit of south swell, but it was ‘nothing to write home about’. If you were out there early for a longboard wave while it was still clean this morning you could have had a bit of fun in a very pedestrian kind of way. However those who left it till the afternoon were beaten by the onshore wind as it soon went south, then around to the sou-east. The tiny dribbles at the Town beach were bigger than yesterday’s near flatness, but it wasn’t really surfable.
The sunset tonight was pretty inspiring though. The guys fishing off the end of ‘The Cut’ had more opportunity to catch fish than us surfers had to catch waves. However we should be back into some surfable swell by Friday. Just in time for the local Scholastics Surfing Trials. I wonder who will be selected to represent Gisborne/Eastland at the Nationals in Taranaki this October? I’ve got my picks. There’s a couple of young rippers who have been featured in the Daily Dose lately… Ô
