0.0 meter tide at sunrise and with the decrease in swell, I could only see 1 foot of the 2 feet faces. With small swell and low low-tides, there is definitely a reason for hope. When there's size on a 0.0, noticing how long surfers can disappear from view on their below-sea-level bottom turn is a good indicator of how quick you can get pushed up onto the reef.
By the reach of a 1.0 meter tide, both the offshores and surf started to rise up. So I planned my surf to ride off the crowning 2.0 meter high and into Happy Hour! It was few and far in between sets, but same for the number of people out in the surf.
G-Land was about 3 to 5 feet on the face and if you were the chosen one, that rare overhead wave came straight to your smiling face. Clean and smooth surface conditions really made it a fun day. If the offshore was instead onshore, that's where I would have stayed. I heard talks of fun head-high Kongs, but I enjoyed my split session between small upper Speedies and then Fan Palm/Ledge. Each time, I shared turns with one other soul. Moneys wasn't really collecting any of the swell???
By sunset time, not one person put on a surf show in front of the camp. Tide was low again and there were just a few itchy Dutchies claiming head-high Dutch Point (Kongs) again.
Here's something worth mentioning... Joyo's is done for the season. There's just US!!! And after tomorrow's change over, us will = 20.
