Anatori River Surf Photo: 'Day 2 of a small long period swell near Anatori.' by Rob Davies

Late afternoon level 3 lockdown on the Golden Bay West Coast. Thankfully, surfing is permitted this time around. Light wind blew offshore, then cross, then went to nothing. Fun waves, about shoulder to head-high with the new swell starting to show at the end of the day. After going AWOL yesterday, the lefts were back.

Hey nice shot, spotted the red board, that's me! Nice to score a good day on Golden Bay's west coast - from my limited experience they're few and far between!
