Only One Thing Could Ruin Today

Offshore winds - all day
Swell - solid
Surface - glassy
Weed - gone
Sun - present
Banks - straight

Bunbury was basically a single close out from Mindalong to the Bay. However that hasn't stopped a pile of people going out. The dumpers were better suited to body boarders than stand ups and one guy at the Bay was getting nicely barreled this afternoon.

One surfer tried his hand at Fraggles and every now and then got a freak wave. There were even waves right of the end of the Wall. Ok not surfable waves but waves.

Didn't check but I'm sure that Capel Cut and Binningup had waves.

My spies from down south tell me that everywhere had swell but some wonky sand build ups and the swell direction made some places less than "all time". Apparently North Point was the spot or so the 40 who paddled out thought. About 6 foot plus with two massive tubes on each wave.

South Point was less crowded but good. A tow crew was out on Cow Bombie. Yallingup was big but Yallingup. The whitewater up the coast seemed to indicate that Bears would have been pumping. Even the Farm had surfable waves.

Tomorrow looks offshore but the wind could swing by Sunday and it is forecast to rain for most of next week. Great start for those groms on school holidays.
