Low tide at Gunnamatta is usually not worth the hassle on a 6ft swell. It's pretty much unridable I reckon. Closes out fast and is very dumpy and the currents can be a real pig at times.

Wait until just before lunch and it should be going well, Rye is probably the better bet (but not by much)

Hitting the same swell down the south coast here tomorrow with at least 6' on offer and probably light offshore in the morning and a sea breeze in the arvo, wich I was heading over to yorkes, but I don't have the time to get across :(

Well I blew it.
Checked the Port Phillip bouy before dawn looked too small for 13th and a little on the big side for Wooli so I opted for PI, thinking I could surf the point if it was maxed at Wooli. Anyway arrive at the island and there's a f*cking contest on. It's too big for Wooli so all the contestants are at the point. So I surfed some reforms at the Collanades - three waves on the head for every one ridden. Had to be back by lunch time so I couldn't hang around for the swell to drop.

Tomorrow morning, Coastalwatch are saying 2-3, Swellnet is saying 6. No sign of any size on the bouys yet although the last reading showed a 20 sec peak period - could be the long range starting to filter in.

Yeah I forgot my camera too. Flinders was pretty good. Bastards blocked off the Gunnery (see other post) but Big Left and Cyrils were the goods indeed. Albeit very crowded.
