NW - SW winds most of the weekend. Tides 1.30/2.30 pm.
Swell SW at around 3.5m
The swell didnt actually hit until around luch time on Saturday, by which time the wind was getting into it and the tide was on the way out.
With early rain on Sunday morning, it was a case of get out in it, or if you are lucky just after the rain, but before the winds mess things up. The picture was taken on Sunday, about 1/2 hour before the wind chopped everything up.
Today there is still a fair bit of swell at the open locations, however its just closing out all along the beach.
Its a bit hard to get out of the wind, but some spots are protected from the westerlies. As normal the best spot in todays conditions is full of lid riders. I have been checking it out most days recently, and the bank that was there a month or so ago, seems to have been wiped out. Lots of closeouts now, where as before the wave was holding up quite nicley.
The air temp. has really cooled down in the last few days and people will be starting to think about getting new wetsuits, or pulling out the good winter one. Its almost time for the extra rubber accessories like booties and gloves.
