Got up way too early this morning, in the hope that the forecast would deliver. It was certainly showing signs of promise, but I opted for more volume than my regular shortboard, and went straight to the mini simmons. Sets were often closing out, but was able to catch the odd peaking right and couldn't determine if the banks were working properly, or if it was me. It must be officially mid summer, as the drought/water bans have been lifted, its blowing a gale this weekend and the we seem locked in a cycle of forever autumn.
