Late one at Northy

Hello Friends,

Decided to get wet this arvo, even though I knew not to expect much. Figured that Northy’d be the nearest spot with anything resembling a wave, so went there. It was kinda busy, but not actually too bad given it was a warm Sunday afternoon with the sort of little windswell that is pretty attractive for beginners. Not that there were too many of those in the water. Sets were maybe chest high or even a touch bigger on the biggest ones. For the most part they were pretty gutless, but if you jagged just the right section, you could sort’ve put some moves together. Water is still warm, despite the NE breeze and it was reasonably consistent, particularly for those hanging on the inside.  I’m calling it 4 out of 10.

Here are a couple snaps I took just after I got out of the water. I’m also throwing in an amazing shot from somewhere north of the arctic circle (I’m guessing) by a photographer named Yassine ‘Yazzy’ Ouhilal. Pretty amazing image…

Nothing spectacular, but they had their moments.

Late afternoon light, little windswell, all good.
