WEEKLY   REPORTS  for    2008

 

Report No:       52-08

Period:               Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th December 2008

 

Monday.  High tide 3:45pm.  Arvo trip to the North side, but unfortunately Missions but just not quite doing it. The crew surfed average River Mouth, which just got better as the day went on. It started out bumpy but conditions improved and turned sheet glass making for a memorable session. Goes to show you just never give up hope.

 

Tuesday.  High tide 4:24pm.  A quick surf at Resorts at dawn which was nice and peaky in clean conditions. Back to the River Mouth after lunch for some nice A-frames with the rights being the better option, running for longer allowing for 3 or 4 turns min. Clean condition with sets head and a half high and only a handful of surfers in the water.

 

Wednesday.  High tide 5:00am and 5:01pm.  Same plan as yesterday with the early out front and then back to the River Mouth after lunch. It was pretty good once again however there were periods of heavy rain and variable winds. There was also a pulse of south swell in the arvo and some great waves back at Resorts in clean offshore conditions.

 

Thursday.  High tide 5:36am and 5:38pm.  A very cruisie Christmas Day with the guests opting to hang at the resort, be festive, and just surf out @ Resorts. The arvo was the pick with the swell around head high and clean conditions. Santa even made an appearance arriving by jet ski.

 

Friday.  High Tide 6:11am and 6:14pm.  Again an early trip to the River Mouth which had great head high waves for the first hour an a half. The wind come up from the north and shut it down after that. Late session out Resorts.

 

Saturday.  High tide 6:45am and 6:49pm.  Another cruisie day around the resort. Guests opted for the early and late out @ Resorts with the swell still peaky around shoulder high and conditions clean.                       

 

Sunday.  High tide 7:18am.  Beautiful clean conditions straight out @ Resorts early. Light offshore winds and small waist to shoulder high swell. A few fun little waves with the sun shinning hard.
