Conditions were nice. The swell was pretty small (around 1.4 on the buoy) and the offshore was howling but after checking three spots we decided on a beach break just north of Supertubes.
The waves were only about 1 - 2 foot but super clean and wally. Even at that size there was plenty of push.
The warning of a washed up whale carcass bringing sharks kept us watching and the super clear water had every piece of weed looking like a creature.
It took me a while to get some rhythm, missing a lot of waves and getting stuck behind the section but Tweeds was surfing better than I had seen before. We swapped boards and he pulled off a couple of big slashes on my short and looser dhu-fish.
The only negatives were having to leave with waves still pumping in, ending up with a swollen elbow from a rail collision and sunburn.
Did I mention that we were the only ones out ?
Elsewhere there were plenty of winter banks hanging around. The stretch from Rabbits past Shallows had a number of peaks and quite a few surfers. Mitchell Rocks may not have been throwing up the Cyclone Biancca wedge but there were one or two peaks. They did look a bit frustrating as the surfers tried to decide to wait out the back or inside for the suckier and more consistent one.

Hot and offshore over the next few days. It doesn't look like there will be much swell but you can always be surprised.
