Sidewinders

Strong southerly this afternoon pushed some little 45 degree wedges towards the beach. As usual with that angle the looked good but were both impossible to catch and with impossible wonks and sections in them.  However two bodyboard groms at Juniors were frothing and getting all the best waves.

Off the back beach two clubbies were having a ball catching runners on their surf skis. Would have been a bastard paddling into the wind but fun linking green waves back.

Wednesday and Thursday both look promising on the forecast. The southerlies might have even blown in a little bank or two.

The harbour buoy is out of service again. Judging by the excuses for closing the path to the Bay the BPA will probably that they aren't preventing anyone from getting the swell reading they just need their own buoy.
