It was fantastic!
Picked up some good offshore wind and a half decent swell a week ago last saturday then the wind swung around giving some choppy but strong ground swell that lasted out the week producing smallish but decent waves around 3ft consistently. Saturday just gone and the winds died out and the swell increased to about 3ft again giving a nice glassy face. Just what the doctor ordered - best bit was the sea was so warm I was just out surfing in boardies! Think ive got more tan in one week than I have even in australia in 6 months!

I tried to pick up a reasonable 2nd hand shortboard because my mini-mal was a bit stiff for the waves but on my better judgement i knew I should be saving for NZ in 3 months time...
The caravan I was in had a view of the beach so I could check the swell every morning from the van!
