All or nothing

That must have been the quickest a swell of that magnitude has come and gone. There were a few spots around that had the balance of exposure and protection. Ian Lloyd finds one.
The energy was starting to wane in the afternoon but the wind dropped slightly and there were a few waves pushing in.
By Wednesday but the swell had all but dried up. I think a lot of people wer ehoping on some amazing waves but it was a decaying 2 foot and even smaller today. The wind is offshore so there might be something, somewhere….

Tuesday was a pretty wild morning with 30 knot Southerlies and a lumpy wild south swell coming up over night… The point offered a bit of protection and some waves were lining up…
Not many were willing to take on the rough conditions, cold water and howling winds….
But there was some sweet clean sections amongst the fatness if you looked in the right place…
The swell has peaked and dropped rapidly though the day but hopefully will last another day.
There are all day westerly winds forecasted for Wednesday and promise of swell all week and into the weekend. Hopefully it will settle down and clean up.
A few days of waves

Late last week and into the weekend there were some little waves around with occasional 3ft set to be had at some locations. The winds were perfect at 10knots offshore grooming the little NE swell into some perfect shapes…
Water temp has dropped to about 16 degrees, so it is only the keen and the well equipped getting out now.
There is a bit of Southern activity predicted for early in the week so stay tuned. Hopefully those offshores stay around for it….

There have been a few waves around the last week or so. But far from perfect.
It is pouring rain right now with a 20 knot ENE wind, so you are not missing a thing.
With a lack of waves to photograph, my fascination continues with the clouds. Plus was pointing my lens at these super size seagulls that were hanging at the Point the other day…
Hey don’t forget that Clarrie is having a DVD launch next Wednesday the 4th August down at the Sandon Point Surf Life Saving club.

I will be down there with a laptop and a few pictures of my own on show too…
