What? No reports on a classic Autumn day with a bit of swell kicking around...
Not bad if you picked them - a lot of the bigger ones shutting down - still, a few blokes managing to tuck inside them for a few seconds...
I was happy to sit off the side and wait for the 3/4 size or the wide ones... still offshore and plenty of crew pulling up in the car park and going out at 2:45pm...
Swell a becoming a little inconsistent and starting to drop.
Pretty nice waves coming through, but it's just a pity about the mentality of the crowds; many weren't in a position to make the wave, but called others off. Good banks didn't help - the takeoff was pretty clear, so crowds were like flies to turd.
A bit of humour though, one young-un was in the water. Yellow board, fluoro wetty, producing some quotes like:
"You should be jealous of me"
"I've been out longer than you"
and other stuff along the lines of wanting to get priority in the line up, etc. - all at the top of his lungs. There were some amused faces in the water because of him.
