Hello Friends,
Thought I’d shoot out to the end of Long Reef to see if I could spot any forerunners of the expected south swell for tomorrow.
Ocean was pretty choppy and the windswell was pretty tiny. Nobody seemed to be in the water north of about the pole, but from up on Longy headland you can see that the windswell line now has better definition than this morning. It’s also refracting more obviously around Makaha and at Whiterock. If you’d been extra game, it might even have been possible to get a long board down the line at the former. Of course with the heightened shark awareness, it could be a little nerve racking at that famously sharky venue, particularly at dusk.
Around the corner at Butterbox, it was straight onshore and totally unpopulated. However, I reckon I caught sight of something that might have been chest high for a second or two. Never had much luck with that place myself.
The bombies at Long Reef weren’t showing much of anything, but if you look closely at the picture below, you can sort of imagine a line in amongst that chop…
Anyway, as noted earlier, I plan to be up bright and early tomorrow just in case…
