Anybody go out of two rocks today? How was the swell?

Planning on getting out tomorrow off two rocks. Have been out through the lead line when the swell was 2m in the past and was OK but still had to watch breakers closely. Swell looking more like 2 - 2.5m so how was it going out/coming in? cheers

Yep got caught out on that one the first time we went out of
two rocks marina last year, took one side on just as we passed the wall on the left never thought that would happen so close to the marina entrance and it was only a 2m swell that day

Went out yesterday and there was a bit of swell. Headed NW and picked a gap pretty easily.
Came in through the lead and the swell looked like it had dropped off a bit.
We ended up with two snapper and two baldies.

Swell
Was solid 2m with 2.5m sets yesterday. Had the sounder going 5m top to bottom out the back but glassed off around 11am.
Safe to get through the reefs if you watch the sets and go in the lulls. Just dont take risks going out and when commited dont back out and try to turn..
When coming in, unless you really know what you are doing, dont ride the front of the swell over the reefs. Let the swell go under you and ride the back of the wave.
Have a safe trip and post the photo's when you get back.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !
