Small, but warmer in the water. The guy I was with didn't like the look of the 1' cross-shore beach break and said he would come out if I got one that I did turns on. He didn't come out. A guy and his girlfriend did, and then later four other guys; obviously not much better around. It's rare to see the ocean beaches so small and it usually doesn't last long. As I said to the guy int the water, 'At least it's wet'. He agreed.

Surfed Gunna this morning for the first time in a while, and a touch of summer in the air, with the Rangers out and charging $4 to get in, and the car park filling up early. Met up with a couple of guys in the car park and we surfed a left down Second Car Park, a little short and fat at the end but a good takeoff, straight offshore, and warming up. Walking down the beach I saw an old fishermen pull in a shiny silver salmon, his kids smiling around as he pulled it in, weird to think of those things swimming free underneath us as we surf. I got a few waves and got out of there before the place filled up completely. Summer's coming though!
