Woo!

Wind went just north enough to turn on a few peaks at the northern end under a headland. Tide just right, super clean peak. Speed runs, slashes and a few tube attempts.

Epic late surf. Ruthless crowd but so many good waves. Tide too low now and southerly about to bomb in.

Nice glass off for the late before the tide went too low.
