Update

The wind stayed light but onshore and with the low tide the conditions were worse than they looked. The smaller ones looked ride-able but to get anywhere near them you would wear all the sets on the head.

Earlier in the day I had commented to someone that the groyne looked ok if you were doing tow ins. Someone must have heard us because there was a tow crew out this afternoon and finally they were a crew that knew what they were doing. No full speed slingshots or dug rails, these guys towed in at the speed of the wave and were able to take off way outside. This gave them enough speed to beat the sections but not too much to prevent them actually riding the waves.
