Hey Haircut it was pretty wild out there today.
Hope I left some wind for tom best chance would be in the morning.
High tide at 10:00 don't bother in the arvo not water left.
Don't think you will see me though ive have the plague.

Gestalt I would have liked to get my 10sec up more but just too choppy. Good prac for Sandy Point though.Its like heaven compared to up here.

BC I must of just missed you. I got there too late for the creek.
Yer nice long runs of flat water but you have too watch those banks though pretty shallow in places. Did you find the wind is a bit less down there or the same as manly. good start to the season.

Hi Haircut were you still down there a 3.00.
Yer the wind did swing around to the NE at my amazement.
But in the distance towards the airport the smoke from the refinery there was still blowing SW figure that one out.
Not looking good for the weekend.
