Month: January 2009

Day: Sunday 18th Jan 2009
Time: llam ish
Location: Fairhaven Vic
Wind: Light sea breeze
Swell: 1 to 2 foot

Conditions: A weak and dying swell, with a light sea breeze. Fairly clean faces considering the mess the ocean was the night before. A couple of reasonable banks although a little inconsistent and closing out, likely due to the low tide and easterly trench this area of coast is effected by at this time of year.

Vibe: Moderate crowd, assisted by the easterly drift making it a little harder to maintain position and multiple peak options. There was a bit of the “magnet” effect going on, where catching a decent wave attracts the less insightful surfer to join you at your chosen takeoff location in the hope of snaring a piece for them-self – Summer.

Day: Saturday 17th Jan 2009
Time: 4pm ish
Location: Fairhaven Vic
Wind: Onshore SSE
Swell: 2 to 4 foot

Conditions: Onshore washing machine as the title suggests, moderate onshore wind with a tight wind-swell mixed in with some leftover ground swell. A couple of rouge 4 foot sets, mostly floated around in the reform shore-break, found a couple of fun sections amongst the chaos!

Vibe: Minimal crowd, most seemed content to get ponded in the shore-break for an extended period of time, might just be the time of year… Once past the shorey they continued in an easterly direction down the beach courtesy of the cross shore current and to their general berwilderment.

I received this in the mail just before Christmas (I did order and pay for it).

Pretty happy with how it came up and really blown away that I got included in this publication. They have my address down as London Uk but that’s probably due to me not indicating one in my submission as I thought it was a much longer shot than it was… Oh and the subject is my daughter.
