Watersport Weekend


Report - Weeekend - swell backed off slightly, to about 1 - 2 foot with some slightly larger sets. Offshore in the mornings, onshore in the afternoons.

Monday - almost no swell. Strong offshore northerlies from early morning .


Finally some banks have formed along the beach breaks. However anything over 2.5ft is still tending to shut down.


Weather all weekend has been warm and fairly mild, meaning that other watersports could and were enjoyed.


Sea Kayaking off the beach on Saturday saw earthlinesurf getting out to some of the small rock outcrops and islands off the headland. Could be a break or 2 out there in the right conditions.

Later that day I tried, for the first time in many years to get on a sailboard. Managed to move along a bit, but will put that back in the to do basket for now.

How many sports can you have?

Some people I meet seem to fill their garage full of bikes, surfboards, kayaks, climbing gear, skis and weight benches. Who has the time to do all these things? Are they trying to compensate for something? You can't find fullfilment with possesions.
Personally I think pick a few sports, get good at them and enjoy them more. Give the others a try every now and again.

Sunday and after enjoying a surf in the morning it was off for some sailing on the harbour. A few hours in light winds and warm sunshine, such a pleasant day.

Monday, no swell left. Hopefully the banks will hold in place for an expected swell build up on Wednesday.
