There were profound scenes of jubilation as some waves of quality and size finally arrived.

The constant grumble of profanities deep in the water must have been finally heard by Huey our surf god, because for the first time in long while I can declare that the wave drought has been broken! Thursday was the start and the surf grew quickly to peak at a menacing 8 feet on Saturday.

Even better news is this system that's providing all this joy is about to be accompanied by a friend as another low pressure system develops off the bite which should give us surf well into the week.  

Saturday was a corker although it started off quite ugly as the new swell tried its best to sort itself out but when the wind swung to the offshore position and the swell straightened, the waves lined up with military precision, with a low tide in the middle of the day and a raw 8 foot swell approaching.

There are certain waves that just seem to draw you to it like a bogan to a V8 car,  and there was no hiding the magnificent looking waves at Kamikazes with the fabled wave located smack in the middle of town, and there certainly was no hiding when a 6'6’’ man who weighs 130kg fly down the face of the biggest and angriest wave of the month who then pulls up into a thick tube to come squeaking through the exit with ease. Who was the man in question? That would be big Dale "Herbie" Farmillo.

Sunday dawned and although the swell backed off a touch, the winds continued to blow off shore and with waves breaking all over the place the issue for a lot of surfers was seeking the best out of a good collection.

When the day had settled and pretty much every spot had been checked it was a lonesome beach that put on a display the rivalled Mexico's famous Puerto Escondido with heaving pipes spitting all over the place.

At one stage in the line up was just myself and my brother Doug Nyholm who paddled out on his 7'0 gun. With both of us out the back a perfect 8 foot wave came through and Doug decided to take off late and sit deep within a perfect barrel which funnelled off for 25m, unfortunately he didn't find the outlet on that particular wave but it did open the door for bountiful barrels.
