It has been a decidedly anomalous summer - record rains, massive flooding in QLD and now in Victoria but drought and fires to the west. The clockwork seabreezes expected every day never appeared. So when the sun was out and the winds finally perked up last weekend, no-one was complaining that they were sou-easters - winds of winter! I just collected my gear, unpacked my new board and headed for the water!

Sunday was just perfect water conditions - clear, warm and nice long wave sets. It should be like this every day!
The wave behind me is over head high - not a great place to fall even with that kindly looking break just starting! After two perfect days, the winds have again gone into hiding - it will be clear and calm for a week.
At least it is not raining! Some big wind/waves predicted later from the cyclone off-shore. Stay tuned!
