Saturday 10th June and it's the Queen's Birthday long weekend and so Sue, Sam and I are heading to Cape Paterson Caravan Park. We leave about 10.00 am and drive to Inverloch which is a bit over two hours from our place and arrive about 12.30. Inverloch is a classic beach town with a couple of pubs, supermarket, a great bakery and a smattering of cafe's and fish and chip shops. The drive between Inverloch and Cape paterson is about 30 minutes and is one of the great drives in Victoria. The road hugs the coast and the scenery is fantastic - Eagles nest is a highlight stop, being a rock outcrop with a great walk on low tide over rocks.
We check into the Caravan Park about 2.30 and then we check the two surf beaches, creatively called first and second surf beach and known as Insides and Seconds. Insides really only fires on a big tide and is flat today. We head to seconds and there are a couple of blokes out although it looks like the waves are closing out. Seconds is a very pretty beach accessed through a walk through bush scrub from the car park and then down a steepish sand path to the beach. There is a rock ledge on the left hand side of the beach and an underlying reef under a sandy bottom. Today the waves are two to three foot and mostly closing out.
Sam and I spend about 30 mins in the surf and I catch 2 waves which both close out as I get up and go left. Sam fairs even worse just getting dumped a couple of times and saves his day by catching a few whitewash waves. It is beautiful in the water and the sky is blue and so all in all it was pretty nice and I will definitely come back to try seconds again. We head back to the Park and I'm hoping to get to 38 breaks by the end of this weekend.
