Sunday session

Winds: Light NW
Tides: 1 hour before high with HT nudging 9.5m @ 9.30am
Swell: 1.6m
Waves at the beach: 3-4ft+

Had a nice early surf on Sunday whilst everyone else was either sleeping or had written off clean waves due to Saturday's wind.

Sunday was a pleasant surprise though. I peeped out the front of the house to find hardly any wind so raised Pete from his bed, picked him up and hit a local left hand reef break.

Rest Bay was cross offshore and pretty nice with some 4ft sets coming through but not a soul in sight. We trekked on to our destination to find only one other guy in, so paddled out to join him.

It turned out to to be Tristan from WCSC so we chatted a while and shared some nice waves.

The tides were large so there was a lot more water moving about there, than normal making the normally tricky take off even harder but it's a fun challenge. A fast, steep bowling drop, with a section to beat straight after take off followed by a fast wall which occasionally barrelled. If you made all that then you were a happy chappy :)

Pete wasn't so keen on lefts but caught a few and wore some on the head before deciding to try and snag a right from somewhere further over towards the island...

I stayed put and caught a few okay rides with one or two holding up nicely and one or two slamming me downwards into the reef but all good fun! The sun was warm and after about 1.5 hours we'd had our fill.

Walking back Rest was now populated but looked a dribbly 2-3ft so we definitely made the right decision.
