O R E W A!!!
Sure came up quick up here in the north, I was getting a few, then kept getting caught inside bigger and bigger sets until getting swept into the beach, along with a bunch of other guys. Found this on the cam when I got home, i bet all sorts of secret auckland waves worked today

Had some good ones at the local. Went from knee high to head high in less than an hour around 4pm. Got above head high last night.

Low must have moved off at it was less than waist high at dawn today. A quick up and down session.

Fair pumping at Orewa last night, one of those rare Head to Head & 1/2 occasions that leave you in disbelief that you're actually out at Orewa.
Looks like its dropped heaps this morning, Its a good day to still be on leave

I work at the refinery, they put in a wave buoy as a couple of tankers touched bottom in a big SE swell a few years ago. It is an actual buoy, not a virtual one.

They have cunningly used the water intakes and outlets to run a kingfish/paua farming operation.
Boilers etc have been dismantled.

So did anyone get good waves on Monday from Freda?

I didn't but enjoyed a high tide grovel nonetheless.

Hmm I didn't mind the wind but the sets were closing out the whole beach at low tide although a few souls got some right hand slabs in between sets. At high tide it was just a small wave in the corner. Must have been pumping somewhere though.
