Saturday 9th April and I've already surfed 13th Beach and had a great breakfast in Point Lonsdale. Lonsdale is about 20 mins from 13th Beach and is basically at the heads entrance to Port Phillip Bay. It's a great place for a visit - the town is nice and has plenty of places to eat and if you don't want to surf the lookout on the point is fantastic and Queensclif is just down the road.
I check out the surf and it's pretty much the same as 13th although the off-shore wind has picked up more and there's even fewer people out here. There are two blokes in the water where I head out and the wait between sets is even longer. It's about 1.00 pm as I hit the water. Like this morning the view and weather is great - you can see the lighthouse on the point and right across the heads to point nepean on the other side of the bay. The beach is really spectacular today.
The surf is not so spectacular and I catch probably about 6 waves in more than an hour in the surf. The left hander works really well and I don't know why I surf well on the backhand but is seem to. I get some really enjoyable rides going left and manage to stay low and get some great rides going down the line. I get out after more than an hour in the surf and I am buggered. It's a small hike up the hill past the surf club but I am really puffing as I go up. Two surfs in the day and I am back on track I reckon. 30 breaks down and 20 to go.
Bring on April I say and I am aiming to have 35 by the end of April/first week of May.
