Leaving

Report - 2.5 - 3m SW swell. Northerly winds all day.

Something just isnt really working down this way lately. The banks seem to be gone, the swell is too big for beachies and too small for Wedge or points.

Here is a photo of Rebounds from above. Shows the rebound effect of how the 2 waves join up to form a peak. This one was a bit quick, but the good ones peel along the bank. Its still getting decent waves at high tide, but with school holidays in full swing it tends to get crowded with boogers.

Anyway I dont care for the next 3 weeks I am going to Fiji, where the waves are predicted to be big and guaranteed to be warm.

It never happened

Report - 2.5m SW swell. 2.20High tide. Northerly winds.

2ft waves around most beaches today. There was meant to be a swell increase, but as of 2.30 it hadnt eventuated.

Pretty clean conditions, but most places closing out in the morning. The good bank at Sandpits seems to have lost some of its lustre after last weeks flatspell.

Rebounds has been packed all day, but would be the pick of spots along South Arm at the moment. Now that its school holidays there are boogers all over it.

Hoping the increased swell hits overnight before the winds swing SW then south for the weekend.

Boneyards

Report - 0.5 - 1ft waves. Light northerlies.

Been pretty flat and not real good for over a week down South Arm way.

After being pretty much flat early last week, then being down for the count with the flu last week, then waiting another 2 days to get healthy over the weekend it was 8 days out of the water.

But I had a fair idea of what was coming and have spent the past 2 days at The Boneyards (yes another spot with that name) near Marion Bay.

As soon as the spot works epic waves are virtually guaranteed and working two days in a row, it didn't disappoint this week either. Not so many barrels as sometimes, but plenty of long walls along the almost perfect sandbank/rivermouth set up.

Bit of a current running this time, so it was pretty much a constant paddle, but also a really good workout and well worth it.

No photos as its about a 1km paddle from the beach. I can't even find any on the net. It does appear sometimes in Tracks magazine, but normally not named.
