Plenty of offshore winds down Victor harbour lately but i just haven't had the time to get down there. With another week of offshores predicted i couldn't resist any longer. It was time to put on the suit of armour at knights. I haven't surfed there for soooo long so was excited but as always way out of practice. This surf would have to be one of the most enjoyable surfs I've had for years. For once i wasn't in a hurry to leave so no 430am alarm. I wasn't in a hurry to get back home for some other duties or work or anything, and its winter and midweek so i didn't have to worry about crowds.
Left home a bit before 9am and got down there at about 1030. A light breeze from the ENE greeted us along with some 2-3ft wedges. The sun was out and a small crowd of about 8 was in the water. It wasn't long though until the crowd reduced to about 5.
Admittedly i didn't have any epic waves or do anything fancy but i was really just trying to relax and enjoy myself. The only dampener on the day was that i was feeling a bit crook and nauseated and probably annoying everyone with my coughing.
First wave was just a small fat wedge that didnt do anything. Next up was a bit of a straight hander but a nice open closeout. Next wave i failed a roll which im sure looked pretty funny. I was getting into the right handers which surprisingly i wasnt kooking like normal. About forth wave in, I scored a nice little shack and shot out just before the closeout. Tucked into a few more through the day and had a fun time re-aquainting myself with knights. Hope i can get there again soon.
I took the gopro out ater a while but the swell had reduced in size a little and a slight onshore breeze had developed. Waves were still ok though but i probably would have gotten better footage if i had taken the camera out straight away.
Below is the vid i made from the session and a few more photos can be seen on the riptide forum
