NORTH COAST SURF REPORT 15-08-08
It has been said that only a surfer knows the feeling. Anybody who has taken the plunge into the ocean knows otherwise, as that euphoric reaction envelopes your mind each time you submerge and resurface from the water.
Admittedly, surfing on a board sure takes the participant to a higher level of that experince. When you think about it, waves are the result of wind blowing at strength, for a length time across the ocean’s surface.
That energy then travels vast distances to the shorelines, where surfers jump aboard for the ride, sapping the energy from the wave as it rises up and charges landward to its journey’s end.
You gotta feel sorry for those who have not shared in that experience.
Todays pics, taken at Diggers beach around 10am shows a classic northcoast winter surf. Waves 1 to 1.5 metre, a light 10 knot SW offshore wind and only a half dozen people out.
The experienced surfers were enjoying fun fast peaky lefthanders at the northern end of the bay, while a dad was introducing his young son and daughter to the surfing world in the protected southern corner.
With the swell due to increase tomorrow, it may be advised to postpone other arrangements and hit the water early.
Cheers, Noel.
