G-land essentially replayed itself out today, mirroring yesterday's conditions. Even though the winds are not doing what would be ideal...going offshore...the wind speed was low enough to keep the faces from getting overly chopped up. There were a few quality waves reeling down the point, mostly upreef at Kongs, but Money Trees did have some nice, short sections. Another fun day at G-Land.
G-land was...and is...forecasted to have some pretty variable winds, with no east showing in it all the way through the forecasts end. But expressing that, the beauty of being here and able to feel two pronounced 30-minute offshore flows today makes me very hopeful.
Something worth mentioning is the change that's happening with the coral. When I came into the country on the 23rd, I was at Uluwatu before coming here. I noticed the change there as well...it's impossible to be unaware of it. The coral is growing and it's nice to see that it is. Nothing too large yet...maybe the size of your spread out hand...but time will tell how large these new colonies of fluorescent green, lavender, and baby blue coral will mature into.
