Last night was perfect conditions again, but lack of swell.

Hopefully it will pick up for tomorrow night :-D-:

Look forward to hearing back . Hopefully the swell spikes hard overnight as I've taken the day off for it.

Eden buoy has picked up to 2-4 metres, but the period is an abysmal 7 seconds atm.

Yeah the swell is straight South. Running parallel and heading due north, marching straight past.

Down south coast now scoping this spot I've been keeping watch on for a while.

It's sorta working, but what little South swell is hitting it is mostly just glancing off the side of it.

Might have to just stick with the sure bets today.

Eden buoy has just peaked in the last couple of hours, hopefully that spike will head north :-)

per sunstroke, apparently there's enough light off the pool ? (along with clear skies, and sufficient moon etc)

Hatchy & ChrisB nailed it :-D-:

As much the rush of surfing somewhere more challenging & open to more swell like voodoo or shark island, I think I'll leave that box unticked lol.

If anyone can think of another spot that is reasonably well lit up & close to shore, challenging but not hellman crazy feel free to suggest it here :-D-:

The only limitation with DY is that there needs to be at least a couple of metres of south swell.

I might go for a looksee tonight to see if there is any swell + how much moonlight there is.

Apparently Bondi off icebergs is also doable.
But I'd be hard pressed wanting to surf there even in broad daylight, ever.
