Got to MP and it looked great! Surfed with Surf Empty and Surfmatt (the latter on a surfboard). By the time we'd changed the tide had zipped out and it was dumping. Watergate was odd, backing off and closing out but eventually snagged some fun lefts. Far from a great session but better than not going in.
I was chatting to one of the standups who said "It's like this all down the coast. We looked at Constantine early on but it was just closing out".
Really....

A thumping swell is gracefully looping itself across the Reef just after high tide. The breeze is light and offshore, the sun is gradually burning its way through the early morning mist and the thermometer is already in double digits. Spring has definitely sprung this week! Yep, four to five to six foot waves are cresting and arcing into the bay and every now and again a whomper set is cruising in from way out back, those lines on those sets stretching to the Quies. I would imagine that every break along this raggedy, craggedy little coastline is on fire today!
That's a lot of info from a 20 second glimpse which I promise you is all this forecast is based on. This has to be the best yet. 4-6 foot apparently!!!!
This is why I measure waves on body parts and it was shoulder to head.

Have a good one!
How was it? I bet the south in the swell drew those lefts out.

South Hams is the district. Lots of breaks.

Both coasts will be on. I would imagine K-Bay might get a sniff although not the longest swell period.
Im looking at a little reef at 7am (that's 6am now time). It a long shot and could be flat so if its not on I'll try a high tide Rivermouth bank. If that falls through too then I'll get round to Chally and wait for the tide to drop off and get a quick hour there jostling with the Sunday worshipers.
