Bianca

There may not have been any rain or wind (yet) by cyclone Bianca has produced a classic surf day. The swell is around 0.6 and is building a little again. The water is bath temperature and it is humid as he'll.


With so much north in the swell the mystical BP Reef right has made an appearanceand so has the crowd. It was chockas this morning, with some less skilled surfers dropping in and ther wereva few hassles. Eden was the only one getting the hard sucky lefts but the rights were the pick.


BP groyne was throwing down sand spiting drainers. Exclusively body boarders only but you could stand on the beach and look straight into the throat of the wave as bit broke just off the beach.


I saw one grommet on the beachie do a take off that looked like small Backdoor and then throw the full Kong hands tube stance before getting a stand up pit and a sand blast smashing.



Fraggles had waves. They were really inconsistent as usual and really bumpy as usual. They were also breaking really close to the rocks and those riding outside weren't being able to clear the inside bulge

My intense hatred for crowds, especially one that was such a mix of skills, lead me to Barnacles and some short but fun take offs and little runners.


Who knows when a summer swell like this will appear again, get into it or you'll miss out..

Fine

The swell has continued to drop and is barely lapping on the shore. There are three body boarder and one surfer at BP reef. Surprisingly the surfer is making silk purses out of the mini dribbles. That's the value of having been a local forever and having a place wired.

Maths

Autumn sun + swell = kooks.

The four metre swell and offshore wind might not have arrived but it is 0.5 on the buoy with a light wind. BP was packed. Probably thirty plus spread from Barnacles to the beachie. Unfortunately hardly any of them could surf.

Luckily not every wave was wasted as there were three surfers out there cutting through the crowd. Eden continues to make BP Reef look good and has that place 100% wired. He was taking off deeper and running through the shorebreak shallows where everyone (bar one) was struggling to make the take off.

A short bit of video for you to get the vibe.
