Surfing: Hell's Mouth Wind Direction: N then SW Wind Stength: n/a Surf / Sea State: up to 3' Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Got to Hell's Mouth at high tide to small waves breaking onto the beach so
got out my new inflatable kayak for it's maiden sea voyage. By the time we
had it pumped up and ready to go the tide had bugun to drop and the waves
began to pick up and break over the sand banks. Anna and I spent a few
minutes getting used to paddling in the swell before going for some waves.
Caught the wave of the day (about 4') but struggled to stop the back of the
boat overtaking the front. Got the basics of steering on waves sorted but
not very good at it yet!
Waves got more consistent so Tones and I went out with the surf boards for
a great session having a good, consistent break to ourselves. That on top
of the kayak paddling early in the day made sure we were both trashed for
the BBQ that evening.
