Wave buoy has peaked 3 hours ago at a max of 5 meters, now down to 3.5....so who knows? Maybe the swell is just changing gears?
Forecast is for 6' sat & 4' sun, maybe prk if wind is ok, or "DAMIENS"

I should be able to get down the west coast Saturday morning but will have to leave around 10am for a lunch. So low tide incoming I guess. Phill, Dean, Rich will you guys be around? Would be good to get some waves.

If average wave height is 4m+ at the bouy at 12 seconds+ I will probably hit up western port but I doubt this will be the case.

Hey Brendon,

Rich is tied up as it's his wifes Birthday.

Call me we are catching up with Dean and Adam and it will be early.

I will be driving past the bombie on the way to Damiens so will look at that as it fires on low tide and light N.

There will be many options on the go.

The wind picked up here in Abay late yesterday. Classic waves were on display between Lorne and here yesterday with some serious glass and clean waves happening! Here's to this wind blowing on through as it has been howling here all night!

Ronnie

Phil, if you guys are heading down the coast in the morning let me know as I might be up for a road trip back your way if the wind keeps up here........

Hey LSD,

We went to Damiens as it sounded like half of seabreeze was going to PRK.

Damiens also produced the goods, we had one stoked out group today.

Revvin caught the best waves of his life and was frothing he is the biggest grom of all time.

There was a lot of board swapping going on and that was awesome too.

Camo and Brendon ripped up some some smokers and Brendon has an awesome switchfoot he sneaks in now and then very smick.

Kristi's new grip was working like a charm and she caught some really smokin hot rides. One of the longboarders near me commented that she was totally rippin it up.

I had the trusty 10'6 twirling around in the stiff breeze and then then 9'6 just somemy other girl friend wouldnt be jealous.

I got to try out Camo's Shurf Shapes 9'4 and that is one sweet ride.

We left Camo at Buckets and Barrels having a wow of a time as the swell picked up.

Serious fun was had by all and then some.

Time fora nanna nap!
