Really nice conditions out there this morning.  The winds are light and there's enough Westerly direction in it to keep surface conditions neat and tidy.  The swell's a touch straight but every now and then a beauty rolls through with even the odd hollow section. I get the feeling that some of the schools around town might have finished up for the year as this morning the line up from Queenscliff to North Steyne was brimming with young whipper snappers.  The only thing better than finishing school for the year is surfing and when you combine the two it's grommet froth fest.  Yeah Grommets!!
