Non-cyclone

As it turns out, the cyclone turned and didn't hit here directly, so we were left with beautiful weather for most of the day (a few moments of drizzle, but nothing severe) and big perfect waves measuring significantly overhead.  Normally the swell here comes from the southwest, but the cyclone descending from the north sent swell from the opposite direction, causing waves to break in places where there are usually no waves at all.  This morning, everyone was running around like crazy trying to figure out where the best waves were to be found.  I lucked out and scored flawless surf (pics and video to come) not once, but twice today with only a handful of other people out in the water!
