Hello Friends,
Did you get in amongst it?
If so, I hope you went a bit better than I did. PB and I headed down to No Mans around mid-morning. Not sure I’ve ever encountered so much sweep there. Basically the entire go-out was spent paddling steadily toward the south. If you relaxed for a moment you’d get carried back into a dunderland of weirdness and rips straight out from the lugga. I did get a couple fun ones though, so was worth doing. However, in retrospect, I wish I’d gone for the late down the beach toward the SLSC.
I ducked down there for about 3/4 hr of shooting in the last embers of the day. Shot at least a couple hundred frames, so I’ll process them overnight and put them up on my blog tomorrow at some point – should anyone be interested. UPDATE: find 350 snaps I took in 40 mins here.
Outlook for tomorrow is for the swell to keep on pumping and for the SW to gradually ease across the day. It’ll be fine and mostly sunny as well, so I plan to get out and about with my camera again.
First tide tomorrow is a high at 0657.
