Anatori River Surf Photo: 'Sandhills high tide and glassy' by Rob Davies

Ideal Sandhills conditions with well overhead faces and light cross-off winds that dropped calm for an hour before building a NE chop after lunch. A bit less power than the day before and good lulls for paddling back from the beach.
