Getting very good over here now after that perfect NW storm, no more travelling for waves for me for a while
you guys over there are just shizzzzzzzz lucky bastards , where's that bloody genie and her bottle , I'll rub her hard real hard so we can have some of that wicked shiz
Hey Chrispy the lad hit Byron and said it was awesome from out the back to the beach,hellish long rides.
Great fun here today.....4ft with a few bigger ones early doors then it has dropped off as the day has progressed.We have had no wind or a light offshore - sheet glass almost all day. Heaven. Just took the 5'10" out for a spin this arvo - first time its seen the water since Point Plomer. It was fun to have a surf and not have to be worried about any sneaker sets bashing me up. First surf in under head waves for what seems like weeks - and no complaints!
Some nice looking waves there Ted. Looks like all that swell hasn't hurt the banks too much. Looks like there may be some south swell coming.
interesting point you make there smh - the beaches have lost so much sand its scary - but we now have some beautiful deep channels so things are looking good. Weird to surf a beachie again today - its been ages since I had a play in one. So much duck diving !
Your local spot is a hidden gem Ted.
Might have to take the coast road on my way up to Nelson Bay this Xmas for the regular family hols.
Scotty I would be offended if you did not drop in for a surf on yr way past - it would be a pleasure to take you to some of the spots you used to hang it yrs ago. I am sure you will not be disappointed
^^^^^^^^^^^Knowing my luck Ted, it will be onshore dribble.
Btw how's your coin looking on the AllBlecks v Shamrocks ?
Today it was absolutely smoking.........unreal day out. Although I took 4 on the head late in the day with the first two giving me the biggest beating I have had in a long time. It farrrken hurt. No photos to share sadly as I had a nightmare with them - lets call it user error and leave it at that. Not happy. Top w/e of waves though. 2 days of absolute perfection and plenty to go round. I love winter. The new board is loving the bigger stuff. Hope you all getting some.
As for the Ireland bet Scotty it went tits up....still a good w/e on the punt though
Actually here is a bad shot of my neighbour that gives you an idea of how bad i stuffed up with the camera
Epic waves today, best surf in a long time. Even better than Iggy, not as big but soooo long. Like having a 30ft long waist to head high 1/4 pipe on a conveyer belt. 5 blokes out and nice and consistent. Completely and utterly surfed out.
classic shot SP.
Cheers for the tip Weiry - it was essentially user error....I was trying to do three things at once when that set came through and the light was low and I just grabbed the camera and started clicking without checking the mode I was in (no time) was guttered as my neighbour got well and truly slotted and I have 8 frames of him all blurry!!!!!
2ft with still the odd 3 coming through across the pond from mine. super clean compared to yesterday.
