::Friday, 20 February 2004

It’s arrived. Finally the first decent swell
for months. We predicted this days ago…These bumps have travelled a
fair distance cleaning themselves on their journey to the east coast of
Australia - the interval is large, swell is solid and consistent, there
is no wind, sun is shining - need more…yep…sand banks would be good.
Finally a solid ground swell is in town; however its closing out Bondi
and Tama as there ain’t much for it to break on. Bondi had waves around
the 4ft - 6 ft range but it was quite straight. (Today’s photos probably
don’t show the size well - had to rush).

So many places would have waves today; the large gaps
between swells making it bend into those little pockets. I am hoping this
will spread the crowds over the hundreds of breaks along our piece of
coastline, and those twitchn’ man grommies will be finally satisfied.

Swell will peak this afternoon and back off overnight
leaving us fun (3ft) waves this weekend. Tides High 09:10, low 15:47,
high 21:45. Water 23 degrees, max 32 degrees on the land. Winds going
to blow NE this afternoon so now is best. Get wet and take the big board.
