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.
