Astonishing surf at Tofinho today 

Surf at Tofinho today

Tofinho is known to be fickle and downright difficult at times.
But not today.
She came alive something reminiscent of the fabulous August surf we had a few years back.
Uncrowded, and very little current, the waves were perfect. So perfect there wasn’t even one camera anywhere. Everybody was surfing and mesmerised by the scene rather than capture any of the real surreal things going on.
Standouts include but not more to Mienie Ho, Chris Wood, the dude on the stinger, Gabriel Piesse and as usual Craig Harburn.
The swell has been very strong lately which made for a torrent of water and sand screaming down the point, making paddling an absolute nightmare.
The past few days have been very difficult indeed and it does not look like its gonna let up all.

The shot above is of a medium set coming in around the top of Tofinho Point today. Named Backdoor , this place was heaving waves at 10ft onto the shallow ledge.

No takers. Ever.
