Mossel Bay blessed on the New Year

We have had some epic waves for the new year, with yesterday being some of the best waves I've surfed since September 2011. I got to The Point at 6 o'clock in the morning and was greeted with powerful 4-6ft waves at Outerpool and fun 3-4ft waves at Innerpool. I went to Outerpool first, till the tide got to high and Innerpool became the better option. Later on when the tide dropped and the swell started to get bigger, Outerpool became a cranking, peeling, overhead freight train, with occasional double overhead waves keeping everyone on their guard, and giving some incredible tubes. The swell eased up later in the afternoon, with a light southerly wind giving the 4-5ft at Outerpool a playful quality, and making some fun sections at Innerpool. By 6 o'clock I have been in the water for a total of 11 hours. There is more waves today, and more for tomorrow and for Thursday, but I am totally broken, tired, and stoked, so I am not surfing today, but I'll probably be back in the water tomorrow, if my neck heals fast enough from a massive clobbering by a lip that broke on my head.
