No shortage of swell hammering the Hobart area today. While it didn't hit the size everyone was hoping for there were reports of early birds scoring some fun pits in the Derwent and on the infamous "Points".

Wedge was a lot smaller than I expected today and the wind wasn't as bad as you would have thought.

It'll be interesting to see what the sand does over the next few days.

There were plenty of wedges on offer for those prepared to look somewhere else besides Rebounds over the Summer months. Now that it's not all that it was here are a few photos from Andy Chisolm.

After you're done browsing this gallery you should head over to Andy Chisolm Photography.

After pestering Chiz for more images he finally gave in and sent this batch of Shipstern shots through. No need for anymore type just enjoy the amazing photos.

After you've drooled over these head over to his site for a whole lot more... ANDYCHIZ.COM

Well almost. I managed to grab a few fun ones at Rebounds this morning. 2 foot at the most, but everyone was elsewhere and I was too lazy to go there.

I put the GoPro on the timed image setting so it would take a photo every half a second to see what the photos were like compared to your usual frame grabs. Heaps sharper and looking forward to shooting a few sequences in some bigger stuff.

Was nice having a bit of water to yourself for a change.

Chizza has probably seen/photographed more waves and Tasmanian coastline than anyone else. Wherever the swell is you can guarantee that Chiz is either on his way or already there. Here's a few photos from locals and a bit further away to get you through your typically difficult Monday.

Stay tuned for some great Shipstern photos which will go up later in the week, but if you can't wait that long for another fix of the red barons goods then head over to his website and browse his numerous galleries.

Sunday morning greeted those without hangovers to some clean and very uncrowded waves at the South Arm beaches. Rebounds was a playful 2-3foot for most of the morning with no more than 4-5 guys going wave for wave and enjoying the perfect morning.

By lunch time the car park resembled peak hour traffic and the line-up was the typical Rebounds circus with about 30 guys on the peak.

Here's a few GoPro frame grabs from the morning before the camera fogged up. Remember to dry out your anti-fog inserts people!

The wind swung a little earlier than expected today. There's no shortage of swell (2-3.5foot) and for those who were keen enough there were a few ramps in between the windy close outs.

Fingers crossed the wind gets it act together by tomorrow.
