It was 6ft and clean on Anchors, with moderate off-shores. There were a few people getting washed up onto the rocks trying to get in and out. The swell is forecast to drop tommorrow.
5 new people turning up tonight. Looking forward to meeting them.

The weather has been settled, and the days have been hot and sunny. Anchors has small clean fun waves at low tides in the mornings.

Sunrises and sunets have been amazing, as these pictures show.

Tom is the only one out on the point today. Its a real battle to get to the take off point as the waves are big and the wind is blowing from the North. Tom is managing it though and has had some great waves, as well as some great wipe-outs!

As you can see from the other photo – the bigger waves are proving too much for most surfers. The swell is due to ease off over the next few days and be just the right size by Wed.

Last week when we had the rain we saw a beautiful rainbow over the Point. We haven’t found the pot of gold yet, but we are still searching…..

On Anchor Point the easiest way to get into the line-up as quickly as possible is to get in off the rocks. This can often end in trouble for less experienced surfers and those not aware of the rock structures on the Point.  We have seen people cutting their feet, losing their fins, and scratching and dinging their boards trying to get in.

Here more experienced surfers show how it is done, by launching themselves off onto their boards and paddling away.

There were a few girl sufers out today, which is a welcome change as it is pretty much all boys surfing the Point. This girl shows the boys how its done and rips it! She got some waves.

Today the surf was big so we headed up the coast to a more sheltered beach break.  This afternoon we relaxed in the sunshine on the terrace and watched the sufers on Anchor Point. The new swell which will be even bigger than the last few days is due to begin tomorrow afternoon. And looks like being the biggest of the season so far, at up to 5 metres, and promises to be a cleaner, more lined-up swell than this one, so experienced surfers should have a great time.

As predicted, and following an unusual heavy downpour last night, the new swell has arrived and is building. It is due to reach possibly 3 or 4 metres but we’ll see when it comes. Anchor Point should be firing and we’ll have a great view of the action from our terrace. Its brightening up today and should be sunny as usual by the afternoon. We will be going up the coast today seeking out a sheltered spot with good medium sized waves and even some smaller waves for Lisa who is a self-styled mini-wave hunter!

Last night was another beautiful sunset on Anchor Point. The sky turned all shades of orange and red.

Earlier in the afternoon we had a good surf on Panoramas Beach break, and came home for home made soup and Tagine.

Arran ripped up Anchor Point this morning before the crowds got on it! He got some really good waves.

This morning a new swell rolled in and surfers were out trying to ride it. Many failed, we saw a huge number of wipe outs! Some looked very painful! Other surfers couldn’t get the speed up to paddle into the waves.  We await the expert surfers later in the day!
