for the hardcore only, rumour has it a booger by the name of bc hits it up on full moons and howls as he paddles into the waves

Surfed outside indies from 11 = 2.30 quick refuel then 3.45 to dark, about 3 to 4ft with the odd 5 footer.


swell was pretty lully

not too busy but very defined take off

kinda went a bit onshore an funky but still clean, glassed off around 4.30

ultra low tide so whale was looking very nice around 5.30 wally and long.

well worth the drive (though both surfs took me a while to get me legs on!!!)

chux stop crying you wimp, thought you were old and mature?? talk about rarked to fark. Ill give you a bone with some pics to mock. This winter has been pretty consistent in whakas nothing big or perfect but some good banks throwing out some decent pits for the size. tubenet, gotta remember sh1t waves are great for mals so he is probably having a ball soul arching on a swell.

this was a cool surf despite the mess, a racey peak that allowed you to race down while it walled up into a closeout and then boost.

Part 1 (Too long to post in one go)

A rising 2 metre plus swell with rising NW wind. Eventually to Gale force.
Knew of a place a couple of hours drive away that would be loving these conditions.
Called my mate, he says yeah he's in.
He rings back a few minutes later and says he has just remembered a wave he saw a while ago while on a big mountain bike ride around the coast in a different direction from where I was thinking. He said when he saw it, it was totally going off and it was pretty much the same conditions as predicted today.
It just required an hour drive and a few KM bike ride around a coastal track, hopefully sheltered from the wind as we would have to ride with boards under our arms and the wind was already brisk.
Didn't sound like the best option to me but when he turned up with bike racks and his bike I thought well you don't know if you don't go.
The drive went fine except he did now tell me he had only seen the wave at a distance as the track was up a hillside a bit above the coast at that point.hmmm!
The ride was a bit of a bummer as it was further than he thought and he couldn't quite remember the exact location. By now the wind was getting up which made it pretty hard with a board under your arm.
Eventually he points into the distance and indeed there is a pretty classic looking setup. Looks about 6 ft and with a straight offshore wind, although almost too strong.
He suits up and takes off down the hill. I take my time trying to check it out a bit more. He comes walking back about 10 minutes later saying there is no way through the overhead coastal flax to get to the beach.

Part 2
We eventually find a way down further down the coast. Once we get to the beach we realize it's a lot more serious than it looked. All rocks with no obvious entry or exit spot. The waves are 6 ft plus with a 4 ft shorebreak straight onto the rocks.
Hmmm! Eventually we make a break for it and make it out relatively unscathed.
About this point the wind just jumped to full Gale making it almost impossable to paddle into the heaving righthander that was barreling off. Suddenly it was very intimidating. My mate who loves heavy surf turns to me and says "I think it is unsurfable we best get out of here"
He turns and takes off and airdrops a solid one and screams off down the line leaving me to fend for myself. After a few solid sets on the head I realise I'm not even sure how I'm going to get back in. Eventually I paddle further up the point and have to take off on a closeout and hope for the best on the rocks.
Make it in eventually, pretty relieved. Can't find my mate for about quarter of an hour as he has had to find his own way in further down the coast. He was starting to think I had been blown out to sea.
Had to the walk the 4 km back to the car as by now the wind was screaming making it almost impossable to hold your board let alone ride a bike at the same time.
One of the most unsatisfying surfs I've had for a long time but a good adventure for sure!
Full adrenaline rush and saw some amazing waves just didn't get to surf them.
This was on the day everyone got trapped up Mt Hutt just to give you some idea of the wind!
