On arrival at Kimmeridge there were not much signs of the epic swell, the tide was a little bit too low but as we bowed our heads in despair a few bomb sets started to appear with the pushing tide, I could not get on the water quick enough, soon I was up on Broad Bench with James sharing some good sized waves but still nothing epic. The sun was shining it was windy, any other day this would be epic but as our expectations were so high for a monster swell it just wasn’t hitting the perceived stoke levels! As 0930 approached sure enough the swell really started to kick in, a few mast high and bigger sets started to explode on the reef but the swell was just not what we were promised, it did not seem to line up in a long wall like Kimmeridge usually does, so it was more of a big drop into one solid section.
