Saturday 9th April - cracker of a day with a northerly wind and temp. expected to be high 20's. I head off early, a bit after 7.00 am and after gettuing coffee and petrol on the way get to 13th beach about 9.00 am. 13th beach is at barwon heads on the west coast, about 20 mins from Geelong heading towards the Port Phillip heads. Today 13th looks great - clear as a bell, small swell and hardly anyone out, presumably because of the small swell.
I hit the surf and there are 3 or 4 others out in the water. It's really a great spot - you can see down the coast towards the Torquay and up the other way towards Ocean Grove past the point at barwon heads. The waves are small - 2 foot and mainly even smaller and long waits betwen sets. On another day the wait might frustrate but today with the weather and knowing it might be the last day I can get away with my summer wetty, I just make the most of it. The waves are breaking left and right and the rides are short. I stay out for about an hour and get six or seven good waves, including a couple of great left handers - down low and managing to just sort of hang on the top of the wave a couple of times after going left for a while.
It's been a really enjoyable surf - the blokes out were nice and friendly and the scenery and surf make the day. The weather and surf are so good I decide to head to breakfast and then try Point Lonsdale.
