Side Offshore






theres been 4 days in a row now with side off wind. a few of these days the wind have been a little out of control.. the advantages with side off is that i get a lot of speed on the smaller waves at lowers. since its offshore it doesnt create to much chop either and its easy to speed down to hit the next section. i have sailed lowers at the right tide (low) as well. supergood spot to train riding ! scored a fun late afternoon session there today as well. the wind died from gusting 40 to 30 knots around 4 oclock. drove up to Hookipa today and took some photos. Uncle Robbie was the stand out sailor !
the wind is going to die soon and well have back to back monster swells.. well lots of ordinary surfing to be had before i go home i guess !

Perhaps Jaws will be firing.

when i was there in February, we tried to go find Jaws and watch, but we couldn't find it.

im not a expert on jaws, but i think theres a good chance that i will se it working before i leave. its supposed to be bigger than advisory levels on sat. and theres an even bigger swell on tuesday.. actually at the moment it looks like there will be a couple of days with wind as well. not sure if i will go out to the reefs thoug..

It sounds to me that lowers in side off must have been outstanding good, even with gusty conditions. I wish i still was there Paal:-)
