Day: Thursday 22nd Jan 2009
Time: 6.45am
Location: Fairhaven Vic
Wind: Light offshore under
Swell: 2 foot – then washing machine

Conditions: Nice clean morning, tide a little too high making for some fatness. Banks are not ‘high tide’ friendly either, with sections quickly running into the easterly summer time trench. Nice to have some clean waves but looked better than it was.

Vibe: First in the water at Fairhaven, very quiet this morning, you really had to look for people to surf with (if you like that kind of thing). A few guys paddled out, very cruisey overall.
