Break 37 - Inverloch surf beach

Sunday 11th June and it's another great day in Cape Paterson with blue skies and little wind.  It was an icy start with it being 0.6 degrees when I went for a run down to the firstsurf  beach at about 7.45 am.  The Caravan Park is right above the bay beach and is about 800m from the surf beach.  Cape Paterson is a great spot - the bay beach has rocks on the right and left side for rambling and a pool has been blasted out the of the rocks for kids to swim in.  It's part of a national park and so there is great snorkling as well.
Having checked out first beach and seeing it is flat we decide to go into Inverloch for a surf.  We drive the spectacular Bunarong Coastal Drive again and stop and check out Oaks beach but it doesn't look on today.  We get to Inverloch and park in  the car park behind the surf club.  There are two blokes getting dressed from a surf and another just coming in, which looks like a good omen.  We check the surf and it's about 1-2 foot but it is such a great day we head out anyway. 

Sam and I spend about an hour and fifteen minutes in the water. We get some good small rides and it is just great fun in the water.  I cannot believe with the sun out that it is June.  The view today sitting out in the water is brilliant - you can see clearly down to Wilson's prom. and back up the other way to eagles nest.  The beach at Inverloch is wide expanse with the river entrance down the left towards the town.  While out Sam and I both get the same wave and I fell off but my Board slid out towards Sam which then made him have to swerve and he fell off - he talks about it for the next two days, exaggertaing the size of the wave and saying I spoilt his "face-time" on the wave (see photo below).  Today has been just a great enjoyable surf in great weather - nothing spectactular in terms of surf but just a beautiful day in June, in Victoria.  Bring on break 38.  We have lunch at the Bakery in Inverloch and it's great - best sausage roll, except for Apollo Bay claims Sam.
