A few of this morning’s surfers were still hopeful for barrels, but unfortunately the wind had other plans. Chandelier sections thwarted their efforts.

The young buck risking it for the biscuit, so much so that two of his three fins are disengaged here.

Many of the waves this morning were far from perfect. This surfer doing his best to maneuver effectively across and a foamy and lumpy insider right.

One high-speed carve wasn’t enough and the wave still offered some room to work with, so the little guy drove through another carve yielding a nice combo ride.

The swell continued to pulse and send some power our way today. You can see one of the larger swell lines detonating on some rocks protruding just off our southern headland. Tomorrow is forecasted to be a fair bit smaller, but we should still have some head high sets rolling through. Unfortunately the wind looks like it could be problematic or light onshore, but there should still be some rippable waves.
