Forecast looked quite promising for a few of our favourite beach breaks to produce some good waves. The only down side was the swell direction which was more southerly then preferred.
The long term forecast didn’t look great so we headed down anyhow not wanting to risk staying home and later hearing that it had indeed been firing.
We arrived at the first spot check of the morning and walked to the viewing point on the cliff, a few people where getting pretty excited and running down but to us it looked a bit small and the tide wasn’t low enough.
We had a choice to make, either stay here and get some small but surfable waves or travel up the coast on a one way trip on a search of something better. We opted for the latter and 40 minutes later arrived to our second beach of choice. We recongized a few bodyboarders cars parked up already so decided to make our way straight down instead of checking.
We where hoping for some pumping condition but once at the water’s edge we realized it wasn’t pumping and infact smaller then the first place we checked. Could see teasing swell lines passing across the bay but it wasn’t getting in due to the swell direction. We where disappointed to say the least but with no other option we got in at the 1-2ft crowed beach. The sun was out and the company good so it was a fun session but far from epic.
The surf photography was more of a water portrait session then action but got a few fun results. A few pictures from the trip.
