Just back from a few weeks down the coast with little swell - but here now in Sydney we have a 3-6 meter 12 sec period swell with light offshores. Most of the beaches are closing out with the usual spots handling it. I just had a session at DY point with 40 or so of my closest friends - and by the end it was closing out across the bay.

I think Matty got a few shots - here is one I took when I came in - it shows an outer bombie breaking in the background that needs a 15 + foot face to start breaking - so there are some reefs worth chasing today if you have the right board.




A certain left hander would be all time today I reckon as wind is going nor east later.

Goaty was charging!! A few people said he was nuts sitting so deep on a SUP... judging from the pics they were right... sets were coming in pretty wide and closing out the inside section from suck rock to the shoulder... a few lids and shortboarders were taking off from 1st rock but not making through...


























sorry out of focus but you get the idea...

Nice shot's guys. Craziness with the SUP out in that - OMG.

Big down my way, some of the exposed places were 8 foot plus but also some rideable spots in the overhead range.

I got a wobbly reef session around Bulli - here's some shot's and also some of some spots further north heading home.

BTW - 10' Mana ripped it up !

Hope to see some more shots from around the traps on this post.

Cheers guys - nice shots surfanimals.

Hey Rob that's the 8' 9" Laguna - goes good in the bigger stuff for a board made for smaller waves.

As Matty said we just surfed Brown Water which is a bit of a novelty wave normally but was cranking 6 foot (swell size). We watched guys Towing the 3rd Bombie at Long Reef on good 20 -25 foot drops - insane.

It's a weird swell cause Eden and Batemans bouys are showing 2-3 meters while sydney is 4-7 meters still!!!

Nice stuff Goaty. No shoulder hopping for you. I'm expecting that swell up here on the mid north coast tomorrow. Should get some decent action too. Bring it.

Great shots Matty, Goaty that is a big effort, and I am sure gained a little respect for SUP's from other riders out with you, and the chickens watching.

Well done, great shot of you just making it over a set.

Hey Dogman, its backed right off compared to yesterday but still running 3 meters at 10 secs - so still a few six footers about the place.

Hitting it now

I went up the coast to that oh so secret spot yesterday arvo...........infact I wonder why we don't just out the place once and for all!!!!!

It was good fun if not a little busy! I spent the first half an hour mixing it with the pack before spending 2 hrs down the line getting some fun ones with a small crew of about 15. It was unreal although I certainly got a fair few bashings from a few of the wider ones. I was on my shortboard but did see a couple of blokes on SUP's having a bit of fun out there. It was a normal day out with jetski's breaking every law, loads of drop ins and I think the only reason that there were not some injuries was the fact that the standard was pretty good in the water. On the plus side there was loads of waves coming through and hardly any sweep. The joy of the outgoing tide. Hopefully next time its on everyone will be back in full work mode and conditions will a-line mid-week!!!

Here a few shots that my partner in crime Don took. I am sure you will see that its far from a secret spot!!!!!!
