South swell

lots of options

You may have noticed that I don’t usually do a Daily Dose post on a Thusday night, even if the surfs pumping, as that’s our Boy’s night out and it’s usually too much of a rush …and at my age I definitely need my beauty sleep! And the surf WAS pumping this Thursday with a fresh south swell that was offering options at all the local beaches. The swell was still a little raw. The very chilly early morning nor-wester tried to clean it up, but the wind then swung sou-west, then southerly later on.

Friday was definitely the day of the week as the swell settled overnight and had only eased a wee bit. Plenty of options with the south swell angle. The Town Beach was firing up, as well as all the Coast. There were barrels for the taking at all beaches with a brisk early morning offshore blowing. In the afternoon the wind went nor-east, so the hungry crowd was congregating at The Pipe. Pipe regular Abi D was out for her third surf of the day before the sun started setting. (Handy when your workmate wants to switch shifts and the surf’s pumping). A few extra pics in today’s post as the surf was good.

Tomorrow should start off nice again with the swell hanging in there and fresh nor-westers in the morning, possibly swinging more northerly in the afternoon. Looking a bit small for your Sunday surf though and rain’s predicted, so you may need to mow the lawns after the Saturday surf. Ô
