the tide makes to your local break.
Surfed a good 3 foot low tide spot today and a few hours later on high its nothing.
At 3 foot at this place its game on but at high its game over.
Whats the best tide at your local
Yep keeping it real in the surfing forum
Mate with you surfing different boards from old mate who knows I could have seen you.
Yep only 3 but as you said it packed a punch into G,oh how I wish I still had my UFO today,splice was fast which helped make that section a little south of G where I was sitting.glad you got worked because your were not the only one
my beachies dont really go that well on a low tide,pretty **** most of the time. yet when she starts to fill, all the banks start to make me smile so yes,tide makes a difference at mine
Tends to work best here on low tide and yep by high tide can be pretty cr.p. I think the main reason for that here is a lot of the breaks are formed over reefs or rocks , not that I am a geologist or any sort of wave specialist .
Easy question for me at my south end local
If you fall off at low tide you rip open your guts on the reef
If you fall off at high tide, you don't rip your guts open
you must have been lucky mac as there has been nothing there for 2 weeks on any tide.back home yesterday to 4 foot of closeouts.really miss the warm weather.
Surfed the reef straight off Old Bar at low tide wiped out and stood up on a heap of rocks not comfy
Incoming tide and the higher the better, as soon as it hits the top of the tide it turns to poop. Then it's time for lunch and wait for the rip banks 4k's north to turn on. And pray that the onshore stays away.
Nice shots there Smicko.
Lots of variations where I live. The beaches change on every swell but the reefs are a constant. One needs mid to high outgoing another needs low to mid but does not handle the incoming tide well whilst the other one needs mid to low. So most bases are covered round here.
