G-Land started off small today, well about head high on the sets, and sheet glass. As the day wore on it picked up bit by bit. I surfed early afternoon with just 4 other people up at Kongs & Fan Palms and we had some solid 4ft sets coming through. Then Father & Son Andrew & Ben from Tarthra just told me they had barreling mid Money Trees to themselves before dark with some nice sets on the low tide. Now Andrew from Tarthra has a thing for Meat & 2 Vege, and he is the prime suspect of such a drawing on my whiteboard. The whiteboard is occasionally a target to Aussie jokers…
Looks like the surf should be 4-5ft tomorrow so that will be good for the guests who take the next trip out in 2 days. The water is a comfortable temp, I surfed in just shorts & tshirt today and it was nice.

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 (more…)

G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp had 11 people leave and 7 arrive. Of the 7, Michael Narchi arrived in camp, and I will be training him during my final 6 days, as he will be taking over as surf guide for the rest of the season. He has surfed G-Land many times in the past, shapes his own boards, and is often seen out in big G-Land waves riding his 5’9 twin fin! I think he’s going to make a good surf guide, and he will add a good style to the job here.
G-Land Surf was a bit bigger today, plenty of 4-5ft sets (more…)

G-Land Surf had a major change in swell angle today which caused the waves to focus more up at upper Money Trees and Fan Palm, and Kongs also had some good waves on the low tide. Rather lully (more…)
