Only a week till Easter holidays, and the chance to have a few surfs in a row. Weather still hanging in, with too many SE's but plenty of Autumn sunshine. Might head down to WILSONS PROM, where SE's are a good thing, and in-between swells are blessed.

Had a good little surf late last night, about 3' left handers, onshore but with a little bit of push.

Had a great today, helping to run GIRLSURF, our annual schoolgirls team surfing competition. Nice little waves at First Reef, then around at Cruncy Point and great to see the girls getting into it and having fun. Newhaven College won (again) and Toorak was second. Some good quality surfing too in the final!

One of those (rareish) and frustrating days when you look at it, and look at it, and look at it, but don't surf it. I met a couple of mates around 11.00 AM and it was shallower than I thought, and choppier, and smaller, and there were a few guys on it. It being 2' choppy fat rights that were dropping sections like...

One guy there, with a long long board said to stop 'intellectualising it, and just get wet'; normally good advice. But there big lulls too.

In the end we all bailed on it. I SMS'd my brother who was home wondering and then I asked if anyone wanted to grab a coffee on the way home. No, they said, we hadn't earned it. So we were all home by lunchtime, ready to meet relations, play tennis or chop wood.

Had some good waves down the West coast; beach breaks, mainly right-handers, but some shorter lefts, and a decent size too, getting slightly bigger over the weekend. It was nice to be camping, to walk across the road to the surf, and then have a cold water shower on the way back, and then a couple of beers afterwards.

Heading down the west coast this weekend and with a pretty good forecast for the first couple of days of the long weekend, may even pack two boards to cover all contingencies!
