Anatori River Surf Photo: 'Easy conditions on the west coast' by Rob Davies

The start of a very good surf session. I stayed in for 3 and a half hours but Rob L was still out there after 4 and half hours. Perfect small swell conditions with sets about head-high on the reefs near Anatori. A welcome respite on a coast that usually makes you suffer for your waves.
