Well overhead at this spot very near Anatori. It handled the long period groundswell much better than most of the coast after the 7m swell of 2 weeks ago rearranged the sandbanks and channels. I paddled out the back easily enough but soon regretted it when the set of the day broke wide and I barely made it over them. I paddled back in and took 6 medium sized waves like the one in the middle. Even 100m or so inside, clean shoulders were still head-high and offered 200m+ long lefts but surfing the inside meant duck-diving occasional walls of foam as the sets went through. I was soon exhausted.
