Day off and headed to Juniors early on the rumour of a swell. The harbour buoy was showing 0.4 and Naturaliste over two and going up. The winds are light and offshore and despite the little chill in the air the water is still warm.
There was swell and the tide was low (Barnacles had rocks sticking out of the water everywhere. But it was a bees dick away from being surfable. The swells were coming in, shaping nicely on some shallow bits on the reef and the filling back up to close out on the shore.
It was too nice not to get wet so I took hand plane 1.1 for a quick run. Got a couple of short slides and a cover up in before deciding that from the water some of the waves look makeable on a board. The changes seemed to have fixed the dolphin problem but it feels a little light and harder to catch waves. Stay tuned.
Back to the car and out on the dhu-fish. Despite some promising looking waves they weren't breaking or were closing out.
By 8.30 the sea breeze had started and it looks like it will be blowing hard this afternoon. Maybe a wind wave later ?
