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…)

Morning check and the surf had risen, winds were calm and the day looked promising. BUT not long after that was the first sobering incident. At one point I almost dropped…wanting to pass out, playing tug-o-war with some guy and CJ’s shoulder in the middle. Finally it set back into its socket and I relaxing seeing CJ’s eyes going calm and glassy… pharmaceutical drugs are more powerful than a placebo. The morning drama subsided and Doctor Preeti was thanked over and over. Here’s another…. MANY THANKS PREETI FOR YOUR CONFIDENT HELP!!!
