Building clean swell was only waist-high when I arrived but soon increased to shoulder high on the sets and tending head-high by dusk. Apart from two surfers at the beach-break, nobody else in. A rare treat. Very light offshore. Overcast but dry.

Building swell on Wedenesday afternoon with about 15 surfers enjoying glassy head-high+ waves. Overcast but dry.
