Inflated

After what feels like over six weeks of really small surf, mostly too small to be bothered with, a new swell was forecast for the weekend. Anticipation rising; 2-3ft and clean on Saturday, bumping to 5-6ft Sunday.

Keeping it short, it was an ugly mess. No banks, tide pulling it in all sorts of directions. Ultimately the wrong side of frustrating despite more size to it than there's been for a while. Floated in after two. Not worthy of a photo even (screen grab from the surf cam. makes it look better than it was).

Usually any time in the ocean is all upside but the differential between forecast and reality proved to be too much for even the most optimistic soul. Hopefully tomorrow will be better but ratcheting down the expectation meter. Just in case.
