From here I went for a little walk on the path following the coast and got some joy from moving through the autumn coloured woods. And I had the impression that the wind was turning into the right direction.
Which exactly was what it did. During the night I could feel the wind shake my van and I could hear waves crashing. This motivated me to get up very early the next morning. But the first light of the day only showed a dead flat sea. The swell had happened, but it had entirely happened in the dark. It was still windy but blowing way too much offshore here. So I decided to have a look at the next peninsula which hast a slighter more favourable orientation of its upper coastline.
I had found an interesting reef / point setup during my last trip to the area and had hopes that this place could work with the actual wind direction. But once again, the place was just teasing me. The wind was side-off and pretty strong but again swell lines could be spotted on the horizon but reached the reefs only with tiny ripples. The swell direction was too offshore for this coast. Or it was blocked by the islands in front of the peninsula.
So I drove over to a headland with spectacular cliffs. I liked the rock formations but mainly came to see how much swell would arrive here. It was not much, but there was some. Maybe it would bend around the headland enough to make it to the coast behind it.
