Friday 1st April and I have a day off between jobs and so have headed to Warnambool in the deep west of Victoria to get some surf and chill out.
Warnambool is about 3.5 hours from Melbourne and I arrive about 2.00 pm and check out the best known break - japs at Logans Beach and its terrible and so I head into town towards my accomodation and the main beach. I pull up next to the surf club and check the beach - its blowing a fair gale and the wind is on shore which doesn't make for the best conditions. I decide to head out anyway and there's one other bloke out there as well trying to catch a wave. The swell is about 2 foot and I head out the back. I catch a wave nearly straight away and it's about a five second wave down the face before "dumper" down she goes and I ride some whitewater. I get another couple of waves, including one slightly longer ride and then head out. I can see why they call it windy Warnambool.
Warnambool is a really great town, the main beach is great and the walks around the beach and across to thunder point are truly worth a look. The main beach, Lady bay is a beginner/intermediate wave and Logans beach is more intermediate/experienced surfer.
