G-Land kept alive through the night and gave us another fun day of surf. The winds were much better, lightly blowing out of the south for several hours then simmered down by about 14:00, letting the surface clean up for a beautiful sunset session. The surf height was about 6-8 foot faces and waves breaking throughout the whole reef. Speedies had a few waves worth waiting for, Kongs was said to have some quality fun waves all day, and Ledge/Money's was really enjoyable right up to sunset. Another fun surfing wave at G-Land.
The rain is still on and off, meaning the season has not truly shifted yet. The local rice fields have yet to be harvested, which, to me is a good indicator of that. I would think that once the water temp starts to drop a bit, that will be another good sign. But, right now it's perfect...at least for me. It's in that range where you can't really feel its temp, only the pressure of it against your body. But I got to make sure I'm drinking plenty of water during the middle of the day cause, with the sun's intensity and warm water, getting sucked dry happens quickly.
There has been a beautiful garuda laut (sea eagle) drifting about over the lagoon the past couple of days. I haven't seen a high speed dive yet, but if I'm fortunate enough to be there when it happens, I'm sure it will leave some sort of impression.
