G-Land – May 26th 2010

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

G-Land had a little bit more wind before lunch time and it was showing good form. There were some really nice waves. It stopped at low tide which was at 2 and then with the tide came a bit of a pulse.

The wind backed off and it was super glassy. The direction was a little more south and it was lining up really good! There were a few barrels and nice long walls. Between all the camps the crowd can be a bit much when everybody’s out but everyone got a few.
We had a little rain in the morning and it was raining just before dinner. There is a big thick black cloud over to the north west so I’m really hoping it doesn’t rain again. My phone wouldn’t work when I tried to use it yesterday from all the moisture in my room.
The Aussies in the camp were glued to the t.v screen this afternoon for the state of origin footy. Queensland won over N.S.W so there are alot of drunk and disappointed men in the bar area..

G-Land picked up today! It didn’t look any bigger than yesterday until around 12 when some nice sets started appearing. 6-10ft faces on the sets with plenty of push but still inconsistent. There weren’t many people out though and plenty of good quality waves were enjoyed by all. Everyone has had a smile on their face and alot of them have gone to bed, it’s only 7:30.
There were some waves that were a bit too quick but alot were lining up really good with a bit more south in the swell and it wasn’t rare to get a wave from the start of Money trees all the way down to Speedies.. That speaks for itself really… Put in a 7 hour session so I’m a little tired.. No complaints except for that my wax was stolen by the monkeys. I hope they didn’t eat it..

lionfish

lionfish

Smallest day yet since I arrived 1 month ago.  A few of the guys went for a surf, but I don’t think they were able to ride a wave for more than 20 yards.   G-Land can go flat and tomorrow’s forecast is to go even flatter.  But we still have good winds.  A little south in it again, but dominantly from the east.

Cole went for a dive and speared a small Jack, the 3 Pomes (Saul-Myles-Spencer) and 2 new guests (Greg n Roger) watched a movie and had a surf, Warren went for 2 surfs I think, I saw a lionfish in the little pool off of 1st point, and Molly chased fish all day.  A calm, restful day at Bobby’s G-Land Surf Camp.

It’ll be interesting to see how calm the ocean is tomorrow since today is one of the flattest I’ve ever seen.

Harry and Jeanette  together...forever...again

Harry and Jeanette together...forever...again

It’s nice that I can write the word OFFSHORE and it not reflect my hope for another day.  The “dry-season” trades blew across the Blambangan Peninsula at their common time of 10 o’clock.  G-Land was a fun 4 to 6 foot (faces) with a few, but rare 8 footers.  Most of the action was happening in the lower Kongs/upper Moneys reef sections.  That little extra south in the wind created too much surface chop for upper Kongs and there wasn’t enough energy and direction to get further down reef.

Those days that G-Land is far from hollow…like today… (more…)
