Glassy, sunny, 3m swell, winter!
Who needs queensland?
I only took one pic today of Cathedral Rock doing it's stuff - those dots are surfers.
Ended up at Urquhart Bluff. Stacked full of cars and lots of peeps in the water. We debated about going for a surf here or down or up the road for around 15mins. The sticking point was that it was so crowded.
All of a sudden about 12 of them headed into shore all at once. we thought, great - "bugger all out now', and those left aren't even going for it.
After I donned up and pulled the board and paddle off my rack the guy parked next to me, who had just come in, said "you'll be right" I said "why" to which he replied "there's wildlife out there - you are on a stand up"
We hesitated again for about 10 seconds and then just got out there - no one get eaten, and the surf was absolutely epic.
Sure was fun. cold in the water though. Cathedral was still working at high tide through the middle section. No one even bothered with the end section which has got a bit of a bank at the moment. Sun, surf and 13c water!! Oh isn't that only 5 ft?
probably only 5', I'm no wave size expert - too controversial for me to debate.
I just go by what port of melbourne report at the heads - it was about a 3m swell today, swell direction and period play a part of the story.
Yep a great session at the bluff Adolf, after about 5hrs in the water yesterday I felt a bit weary afterwards
And today! I could take a lot more of this sort of weather , sun and waves , no wind ! Magic .
Yesterday must have been cranking Adolf !!!!
I didn't surf yesterday , but heard the roar of it in the morning and saw the swell at kilcunder
Easy 8' plus.

Winki by Aquabumps
I only ever surfed Winki once. Having driven 20 hours from Sydney we pulled up at the carpark and it was pumping 6 foot+. One of the most memorable surfs I have ever had. Both Winki's are a sick wave when they are on!
Few more pic's from Surfcoast 's AR photography last Saturday.
First three shots - Carl , his board snapped in two with the impact ....
More pics soon.
