It’s on

Hello Friends,

South east swell at 2 metres and 11 seconds apart with no wind, sunny skies and the start of a holiday weekend is adding up to going off. Very consistent when I first checked about 0730 and tremendously crowded at the point. I’m calling the conditions 9/10 for waves. But, no matter where you get in, you won’t be lonely today.

Swell is going full tilt and while I watched it seemed overhead sets were turning up frequently. It’s going to be intense in the water at the magnet spots today.

Wind call is for it to go SW and the W and the Bureau tells us the swell still has some way to go before peaking tomorrow morning.

Be patient, be careful and don’t paddle out if you’re not an experienced surfer – this isn’t an ordinary day.

Yeah, I’ll be out and about with the camera today, so wave hi if ya see me!

But people and people too!
