The swell had no doubt subsided slightly from its peak, but there were still massive sets to make for an epic big-wave, Bluff session.
Out to sea, I could see massive lumps of swell marching across the horizon, while the waves crashing over the rocks at Godrevey lighthouse signified that this was no ordinary day.
Downwind I could just about make out a couple of brave punters headed out at Mexicos, but the Bluff seemed a little more cross-offshore and cleaner, so it made sense to stay put.
Within an hour everyone was out in the thick of the action, playing mental poker with their wave selection decisions. Choose the wrong one, get caught out by a bone-crunching set and for sure it would mean game over and one long swim back in.
