Better late than never...

So, autumn is supposed to be the premier time for swell in Victoria, Australia.

So far this year, autumn has generally disappointed - until last week! Last week saw a week's worth of building swell with favourable winds.

I was lucky enough that Thursday 25 April was a public holiday here. As I do on most days off, I trotted down to the coast. This time I was greeted with beautiful lines pulling into Bells Beach.

The whole coast was pumping! I decided to challenge myself at more than 'decent' Winkipop - a short walk east from Bells.

I bounced off the bottom a few times, but managed to catch some pearlers - including one from all the way on the point to the very end of the wave.

Little did I know it, but this was the start of a few lovely days for me. Stay tuned...
