Two in a row with a great surf this morning out of nowhere really. A very light onshore and my brother and I headed down mid-morning to find empty banks, and good 4' lefts which were a bit short but with a great takeoff, and then a little bit to muck around with, and then cut back to the last little run-off. Great fun, clear water, no-one on the beach almost and we came in and swam in the rockpools for a while. The only hassle was the march-flies, which were unbelievable once you got out of the water!

And another weekend with two surfs, after nicking down Friday night for a wind-blown instant crowd at Point Leo, with lots of students from school. Paddled out to Second Reef, but the tide was too low and the wind too strong. Got a couple of lefts at First Reef, and great to see the girls enjoying it, paddling hard and having fun.

Then yesterday, a bit of swell saw PINES at 4' with lots of waves up and down the coast, and a light onshore.

Got that nice tired feeling in the shoulders from a couple of surfs over the weekend. Neither of them were particularly good: caching the tail-end of a bit of a swell in Western Port yesterday for some small clean point waves, and then enjoying the light onshore at Gunna today, nice to be wet after a boiling hot night. So, I can go back to work happy.

The lousy summer continues, but I did get a small surf with my brother, he on his new board, which he did get going on a couple of waves which made him feel happier.

Meanwhile, have begun planning and working towards GIRLSURF, the school surfing event I help organise, and which takes an inordinate amount of time, and like all surfing events, is totally up to the nature of the surf on the day.

The unseasonable season of southerlies continues. I rang a mate down the coast who lives near Gunna and he said to stay in bed and don't waste my time coming down. I still reckon there's some hot weather to come and maybe some good Gunna surfs yet this season...
