3hrs sleep, 300kms and 3 puffers

I had had wed and Thursday off to go away for my 7 yr anniversary so thought i might take Friday as well and get some waves down south, it was supposed to be small 2+ ft but offshore.
I had to work Thur night though so crawled into bed just after 1 am and set the alarm for ten past 4.

My alarm wasn't all that well received but i trundled out of bed and began my solo trip.
Mt Compass had a nice little bit of fog.



Got to Knights just as the sun was starting to show



It wasn't looking very good, watched it for about 10 mins and it was too straight and too small





Travelled further south to Parsons, It was a bit wobbly and the banks were pretty shite. Only one person out




Travelled back to waitpinga and it looked slightly better there,clean with a slight wobble but head high, peaky left and rights so suited up and went out. First couple waves were all right, nothing special then got a nice left and hit a decent roll with some good projection. couple more waves then the bloody wind shifted east south east and i had to put up with apple crumbles. Occasionally one opened up a little but it was a bit disappointing. Took some snaps when i got out.






Surfed for a few hours then thought I'd try for a fish on the other side of the peninsular

'Lush'....not a word often heard in SA..i wonder why






Got a few fish but it was too clear and calm and bloody hot standing on the jetty,


Packet up and got home about 330pm. A very enjoyable day off but a little underwhelming on the surf front
