W e t

I was up a little later than usual and swam with my camera today. Think I missed a fruity sunrise. Rips at Bondi were on turbo (even though it was small)…especially the bank near the guard tower – wow, need a nap under my desk now! Small 2 footers with infrequent 3 footer sets. Nothing to get too excited about as it was either fat or closing out. It’s going to fade today and return on Friday.

High tide 7:20am (hence fatness this morning) Low tide 1:30pm High tide again at sundown 7:30pm. Max land temp 22, water is probably 18 degrees, ok maybe 19. How about a decent bank eh? Wouldn’t that be nice. This weekend looks dire (flat).

An old mate of mine has an island in WA called Dirk Hartog Island (where the 1st Euro landed in Oz and turned around thinking this place is inhabitable). It’s a big island, in fact it’s Sydney to Wollongong long. He lives there with his lady and kids. World Class fishin’ and surfing – if you’re don’t mind sharing the peak with a few Tigers + Pointers. Can’t believe I’ve surfed for weeks up there as kid and still have all my limbs. (they don’t call is Shark bay for nothing). Anyway, he’s selling a chunk of land…28 acres. If you like pure isolation – castaway Tom Hanks style fishin’, surfing and hot weather all year ’round…this is your joint.

later…uge
