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.
Well then 2ft is my limit Adolf, That's my uncles name by the way-You're not my uncle are you
?
Wild Turkey's mate!! I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning though, headache and all!!
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

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.
