southerly hopes 31st july

Well that southerly swell hit overnight, there’s plenty of size around the open beaches but finding an okay wave proved to be a bit of mission this morning. I creeped around to at least 6 breaks I didn’t find too much going on. Waves hitting too straight, wind to strong, swell not really getting in…lumpy.. there was something not right with most waves around our parts today. Wind has more than enough west to it and there bucket loads of swell, here’s hoping it finds some form later on today or throughout the week.

A few bombs on the open beaches

much smaller in the southern protected corners

some nice shape into the wind

hitting too straight here

lumpy froth runners further south
