Snake Doctor

Report - Small 1 ft max. Good NW winds. High Tide 3.30pm.

With nothing happening locally me and a mate hit the road and were rewarded with light NW offshore winds and 3ft sets at Eaglehawk Neck.

for some inexplicable reason there was no one else in the water. So we had it pretty much all to ourselves.

Except for when the Snake doctor paddled out.

With only 3 guys in the water there were plenty of waves to go around. So why did this guy insist on snaking us?

We would have happily let him have his fair share, there was only 3 of us after all. But after being snaked a few times each, it was time for a bit of payback. So I would say that he probably missed out on some good waves that we would have let him have, if only he wasn't trying to snake us.

The wind started getting stronger and he obviously got sick of it and went in. Just after he hit the beach the wind died, the sets rolled in and we enjoyed a good 1/2 hour of 3 ft barrels with no one else around. Who says there's no justice in the world?

Eventually the tide got a bit high and the waves started shutting down, but after 3 hours, so many waves but cold water we were ready to go in anyway.

Some days you can drive for hours and not even get wet, but then it all becomes worth it again, when you score.
