Bit of a let down but there are some waves and plenty of swell. BP reef is the only real shape but its crowded with kooks. RULE NUMBER ONE - DON'T DROP IN.
The kook with the poo stance and the pump as the only move is very lucky that the body boarder sitting really deep and critical didn't punch him in the head for dropping in on every one of his waves. Poor bloke had to straighten out over the shallows and just missed getting speared in the head while this bloke sat in the safety of the shoulder and wouldn't have had a clue this guy was inside him.
The wind is a bit fluky but sort of offshore.
0.65 @ 12

Some waves around
The swell has picked up over 0.4 and there are some waves at Juniors and the reef. Unfortunately the wind is onshore and messing it up a little.
Surfed about three and it was okay. The swell was inconsistent and not very powerful. BP reef is still breaking on the inside platform so some of the waves were dry sucking like Chopes.
My main whinge was the crowd. What a collection of kooks. Tip for Fathers who think that as their children want to surf they should do it too - LEARN THE RULES. It bad enough that I had to call the grom off the wave because he didn't think to look left but the Dad just drops in and kooks straight to shore. One surfer per wave and thats the guy inside and first up ..... and because you can't surf your get the left overs not the good ones.
And to the guy with no shirt - Juniors in a right, you're meant to be going away from the breaking part. At least he didn't drop in (because he was way out on the shoulder and could only catch the close outs).
I feel better now.
Afternoon (3 pm)
Swell : couple of feet and rising
Wind : onshore and mainly west
Quality : 4.5 out of 10 (no power)
Crowd : a very difficult 10
Fun factor : it was okay before the crowd came
Wave Count : 10+
Board : Twin fin dhuie
