Novelty Surfbreaks Alight
The high tide novelty waves of the Otago Harbour entrance were lighting up. A crew of six surfers took turns getting barreled on a backwashy left in the corner. It broke from 2-6 foot and occasionally looked incredible. Luke Rogers and his father Dean were making the most of it along with a handful of other barrel hunters.
The wedge off the Mole was also working while Aramoana looked like a washing machine with one in every 20 waves looking slightly rideable. That was enough for Karne Gabbott. He paddled out solo, in the peak of the swell, and surfed a handful of ridiculous waves before chasing another reef further up the coast.
