I could hear the rain overflowing the gutter and running down the wall outside the window this morning, even before my alarm went off. I knew it was blocked with leaves and as I lay there, knowing I had no choice but to get up there and clear it, I couldn’t help but curse myself for putting it off all summer, knowing this day would eventually come and that it would have been much easier on a nice sunny day than doing it at 6 am in the pouring rain, dressed in nothing but a pair of boardshorts. How I hate domestics!
Needless to say, it was a wild and windy night and the rain is still coming down hard as I type. I didn’t shoot this morning, as it was just too wet. Hopefully the rain will calm down a bit later.
The surf has picked up to 4-6 feet with a few bigger ones hitting Ben Buckler headland. There are actually some big barrels out there and if you had a jet-ski and a death wish to charge the inside ledge, you could possibly score a crazy shack… or the beating of your life! It would be nice to see some tow-in crew attack this wave one day. A couple of guys are towing “The Cemo” off Bronte right now. It would be nice to get a couple of shots of them, if they are still out there after I get this report up.
For all you Indo junkies, I have thrown up a bunch of shots from a trip I did last year. It’s moving towards that time of the year again so I’m sure this will help push you towards ringing your travel agent soon.
Winds should swing more off shore through the day, so keep an eye on the ocean. It could get good!
