Whales

Finally able to shuffle things around so that I could get a very early surf in before work. Headed down the beach at first light to see that there was still a little swell and a light northerly blowing. There was a bit of a bubble off the surf club so I stopped for a look and it was a whale.

Watched it for a little while but still wanted a surf. BP was a disappointment. The swell was very inconsistent and the high tide was stopping it from hitting the banks. No matter how hard I tried I wasn't seeing anything surfable.

On the way home I decided to check the Clam. Now there were two whales. I was on the new lookout by myself but no more than five minutes later the carpark was packed with whale watchers.

Dawn Patrol

Waves at Juniors and BP this morning. It was a bit wonky but if the offshore picks up it will be a bit cleaner.

The swell is on its way up and has jumped from 0.3ish to 0.4+ in the last hour. The sets were getting a bit bigger and more frequent when I got out.

If you've got the morning free head down but don't wait too long.

Early Morning (5.30)
Waves - 1-2'
Wind - light SSE
Crowd - me and a dolphin
Quality - 6 out of 10
Fun factor - Great start to the work day !

Cold and Clean but Small

The dawn patrol showed a little swell.

Juniors is the pick of the spots with the odd left at BP reef.

The Bay has size but just isn't breaking.

Now the the sun is starting to warm up it the crowds have started to arrive.

Probably the last chance for a few days.
