I was not actually out at PP; it was somewhere east of cowells and west of new brighton....
and it was small, somewhat sloppy, and mostly gutless. but not cold! south swell was pretty much a no show as of 4pm. one wave sets. but then i lucked into a little waist high runner and all was right with the world again. long wait. then another. just me and one other familiar face. then four more paddled out and the wind got worse. in the grand scheme of things, it was horrible. for how much i've surfed lately, it was alright.
