Pretty much a perfect Wednesday morning as a strong easterly and good six foot swell saw plenty of options along the coast working well. Surfer's Point was the pick, with Boaties, the Bombie, Southsides, Mainbreak and the Box all picking up swell and producing good waves, particularly between about 9 and 11am, when the wind dropped and it really did turn it on. By late morning the on-shore turned up as forecast, but if you managed to get down for a morning session, you'd have to have been pretty happy with what was on offer. Summer's almost over and if today was any indication of what's in store for us in Autumn, we'll be lovin' it. See our pic of the day on Facebook at 5pm, not featured her
A break from a long, long summer in the south-west today as the usual howling southerlies and smaller swell were replaced with 1. a light off-shore this morning that dropped to nothing by 8am and 2. some decent swell, in the four foot range with the odd larger set. The key to today was the tide, as the off-shore was forecast to be around for a good few hours in the morning so for once the wind was relatively less important.

Just a great morning to be out amongst it - it wasn't particularly crowded early, the wind was light, the swe
It's been a frustrating summer on the whole. Either we've been getting small swell with light winds, or good sized swell with howling southerlies and sou-westerlies.

For those able to hang around, conditions improved into mid morning before the wind turned on-shore. We're yet to really see anything super special, so let's hope the next few weeks bring us something worth writing home about. Not long until we hit the best months to be in Margies (in our opinion anyway). Remember to send us your same day snaps and we'll feature anything good on our FB page a
