I paddled around the point at Curumbin this morning and there is sand returning to this great break and you can expect good waves there in the weekend although standup paddlers do not appear to be surfing there. Just surfers and skiriders

surfed there 2 arvo's. the points pretty tight for space at the moment as it breaking close to the rock. sup pers are better off grabbing a few just down off the breakwater. leave the point of the shorties and mals i reckon. if it starts breaking wide off the point, i would be a happy man, but i don't think thats going to happen for a while yet
cheers

Paddled out this arvo, someone said you just went in Lacey, was pretty small and you're right point was pretty covered, but reckon a couple more feet of swell might make it all the way through on a low tide. Could be looking good for the weekend.

Hey Steve, good to hear you getting heaps of waves!. Sydney has been pumping so far this year as well. I had solid 5 foot DY point yesterday and a heap of other reefs were working as well - not as good as the Bar though!!!

Supposed to be hanging around for the weekend with no wind....wooo hooo!!

Missed it!

Wind had got into it by midday

State Nippers this weekend at Swansea - anyone going to be up that way?

Hey AA, I didn't hit it til after work, bit of wind on it made it more fun, had some foam to hit and was lining up really well - also picked up form the morning.

They are still calling for solid little SE swell this weekend - you should hit up Catho or Ghosties if your up that way.

I think Quiksilver has Huey on the payroll Jacko, Kelly met him at a party with Giselle Bundchen and hooked the whole thing up.

Word has it he's trying to run a few smaller swells to set up the sand before he turns it right up to 12.

Hiya Steve,

We have been getting fantastic Bay Swell over the past few days! Great head-high +, glassy peelers (left & right). Got 6 hours in the water on Monday, Jason got another blinder on Tuesday (I had to work boo hoo). Still great waves around yesterday but dropped off a bit this morning - luckily cause I pulled a muscle in my stomach flicking out of one this morning and I will cry if there are still waves to be had tomorrow and I'm not up to it!

Neither of us was prepared to stop surfing to take pics so the best I can do is let you use your imagination - These photos were taken last winter but the last few days it has been x 3 this size - whooo hooo!

Pictures taken by Rob Slater last winter.
