It helped to have a fair dose of dedication to rouse yourself out of bed this morning. It was dark and cloudy with an enthusiastic southerly wrapping at the window and not whole heap on offer by way of waves or sunshine. Not the kind of morning you'd chastise yourself for missing but the keen were reaping the dividend of their dedication. 

With the swell mostly south this morning, the higher tide helped keep a few banks in play that otherwise would have been closing out. Any good? It was more surfable than I was expecting that's for certain.
