OK, so it's going to be mental surf over the next 3 days, all at different locations and all
different conditions, what would you choose:-

- Tomorrow: 3' to 4' beachies, good super punchy waves on some of the best banks we've
had in a while. Some hollow options around.

- Thursday: Solid swell running. Exposed beaches wind affected so it will mean the best
option is a really fun A frame mellow wave about head high. Novelty wave.

- Friday: Early option is a good gutless wave, fun for trying new stuff. Then worth hitting
a REALLY long fat wave, but can be fickle.

I'm thinking I will have to surf all 3 days but if you had to choose one whats your
favorite
conditions?? What will you drop everything for if it's on?

Hey,Bnaccas,
looks like you've got heaps of crew to share the waves with,

the open beaches would be my pick though,looks good on the reports this morning ,how'd you go?

Was a ripping session! Wind came in around 11am which was fine after almost 5 hours in the water!

Hows the surf up your way?

Hey Brendan,

When are you planning to go tomorrow? I'm interested.

Mike and I surfed the Gap really early, then when it started getting crowded moved somewhere a bit more secluded. Was pretty good.

I was thinking of heading to Cat Bay or right Point.
Leave around 4pm and home about 10pm. I'm hoping the crowd will be done by
the late arvo but the tide will be perfect. Swell should peak tomorrow night as well.

Then straight to bed for a dawny at Big Left, or maybe ride the shorty at Cyrils?

I've been using the "need to get paddle fit for my surf trip" with the wife and it
seems to be working. Surely she'll figure it out soon though.

Small micro surf on the sth coast NSW at the moment,clean in the mornings before the nth east wind ruins it ,here's a pic from yesterday morning at a sheltered north end of beach,





Hey Rosscoe, will catch up mid next week for some east coast waves looking ok at the moment, you can try the 8'5 Hokua now that you've mastered the 9'r .

Sounds good Cam, look forward to some waves with you next week. Looks like nice little waves where you are. Must be locals in the pic, with all that rubber on for this time of year.

Just back from Cat Bay with Brendan - was a bit fat, but ok.

Big Left is looking the goods for a really early one tomorrow - light northerlies before it blows up later in the morning, with 2.5 - 4m swell, at a period of about 14 sec.

If I didn't have to keep in the good books, a downwinder in the afternoon with DJ and others would top the day off well. As you have probably seen from the other posts it's looking like 30knots to go with 40 degrees.

Well, I'm gonna be up at 4am, so better go get some shut-eye.

Gee you guys have plenty of options...good luck to you all

I think I would just go and hit all 3 days and then worry about the loss of bonus points later, when the surf is crap then apply all the techniques for bonus point redemption

You never know when you can be taken out of the water with injury or other issues or the conditions just turn to **** for days or weeks on end...

Just say YES to life and being in the water
