Sunday is grommet day

As usual a hyped swell hasn't arrived but it is starting to come up this afternoon.

Conditions were nice this morning and there was a heap of groms out at Juniors having a bash. There was enough swell to make it perfect for those who were just a step up from complete novice. They weren't big, there were no real clean ups, they were breaking softly and away from the rocks.

Not the sort of waves that would usually have anyone else paddling out, except me. Took the mini mal out as the onshore started to settle in. In my defence I was really just wanting to get wet and not expecting to catch anything more than an odd soft close out. It is also fun sometime to be out with groms as their enthusiasm can charge you up. The first wave and the last wave were worth the paddle anyway.
