Feel free to riff, I'll live my American adventures vicariously through you.

Banks haven’t been done too many favours by the recent swells, rain, etc. Last weekend there was a sweet little bank in front of the Pav with a cast of thousands. Hard to see anything today.

Lot of duckdives but some cracking waves today. Hollow 4-6 foot on low tide.

At certain times over the weekend it looked almost surreal

Watched a bit on the cams - 25 guys at a time going out behind the rocks, the quality of surfing was just so high (and I am watching a long distance cam), surfers doing the lap. It certainly is a wave when its on. But geez the crowds.

There was only 5 guys on the cooly section.
Less frequent sets but absolute quality when they came.

Pumping. It was slow at dawn, but by 8am the pulses kept coming. A small troupe of travelling surfers who didn't know where to sit left myself and one or two others just feasting. Some solid sets, great barrels.

A couple of injuries, one surfer had a dislocated shoulder, another got done on the rock-off big time.

What a morning!

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

Solid here today. Couple of large bowley sets in the 6-8tt range keeping old fellas on their toes.

Should have gone out this morning but I procrastinated and then had something to do. Waited till the afternoon and the incoming tide.
Too windy and not as good as yesterday. Great littlenorth bank though.

So Beans, you wanted to go out. But, didn’t in the end.

That’s a “where I didn’t surf today”

No, I went out. Got one okay one butconditions deteriorated quickly with the wind. Got held up on one latish take off.
Monday was surprisingly good though.
