I wish I could say my drive down to Boneyard yesterday resulted in a similar quality of wave.
On the other hand, I only needed 1/2 of my fingers to count the other surfers.

Yeah I thought of Boneyards today, might have been the only spot with a bit of shelter, but sounds like it wasn't. I know a few breaks inside rivers that might have had some shelter too.
Jesus is coming, look busy!
Moving forward or just spinning faster?

There was no shelter yesterday, but it was still a better wave than my surf at Maroubra on Thursday arvo. The wind today was pretty crazy onshore. Im holding out for tomorrow and doing some location research on the forecast conditions for a quick trip out of town on Monday - possible for E Pt - as well as crossing fingers that the outside banks at Tama might be ok.
2 hours less driving means more surf time.
Oh, and I am jealous of your secret river mouth knowledge too.
Not really all that secret and I never got the chance to check it on Saturday but it is a fickle place it needs a low incoming tide to suck the swell up the river otherwise it can be a very fat wave, even 4' and you still can't catch them on a shortboard, mals and SUPs only

Nothing to be jealous of this day.

Ah yes, not so secret. I can see where that wave is behind. I was imagining you had a south coast river to yourself. I saw some photos of Neilsen looking nice - but crowded, on Saturday.
those look like frustrating conditions.
