You know how it is with swell and not great conditions – you keep wondering if maybe it’s improved someplace… the pressure got to RealSurf and so late this morning made a run down to see if the Bower was cleaning up and if by some fluke there was something getting in on the north side of Long Reef. I should know better… but still, had to look.

About a dozen in the water chasing sections in 1.5x overhead sets at the Bower, but the swell was mostly going wide and the rideable bits weren’t too long. Grabbed a couple snaps that make it look better than it probably was…

Long Reef was relatively clean inside, but the quality was strictly so-so…
