12-13 second period
1.3m swell
light offshore winds
Big tides - 10m+
Joined this morning by my compadres: Doc, rattz, aggers and gazza with Bic on camera so a full OTL contingent.
We had a spectacular full moon last night so the tides were always going to be a factor but the winds swung light offshore, ese/se and hardly a breath of wind at 6am. We paddled out to glassy waves breaking fairly close to the high tide pebble bank with sheet glass faces, nudging 4ft.
Good rides from all so there should be some photos coming later from Bic. The tide dropped back and did it's usual confused thing until around 8am when it perked up again. the sniper was out in the dunes as usual and picked off a few of the lads.
Rattz was shot repeatedly by an UZI at one point on 3 waves in a row ;) but he did score a lovely right hander earlier and hung on despite an early shot to the leg. It must have just grazed him!
I snagged a few really nice lefts this morning despite feeling absolutely shattered from an intensive 'body balance' yoga session at work yesterday lunchtime. I'll think carefully before doing that a day before good waves again! The bonzer was flying even if I was playing catch up to it!
If you're reading this wondering what I'm on about re: a sniper - There is a mythological sniper in the dunes at our local spot who shoots people off their boards from time to time...I'm sure every break has one!
Roll on friday am when we should have more of the same.
