Finally a summer worthy of staying home. Westerly was a little stronger than hoped today but I got out early enough in the blue skies and head high sets. Last day of swell for a while now and looks like the heat wave is going to continue for the forseeable.

Still the swell continues, and as we watched one another on the take-offs, I think it was somewhere close to head high and very clean considering the southerly.  I look forward to a well deserved lie in tomorrow.

Forecasted 1-3 ft, so I didn't bother taking my camera this morning. By the time I reached the beach it still  looked too small, but seeing a friend out, I wanted to paddle out to say 'hi'. Fortunately it turned into a really nice session and I picked off the best right hander I have seen for months. Stoked to be riding the Seedhouse Fish with a set of Rasta keel fins. The board felt really fast and I think the cross-offshore really helped boost the power and shape of the wave. Hopefully the swell is building and when it goes cross onshore I am ready to get out for session on the new RRD. 

Managed to get out for three very different sessions over the past twenty four hours, and surfed as many different boards. Probably my most favourite shape, but not quite the conditions for it, was this 6'1 quad fish, which still seemed to fly in the early morning sunshine.
