This morning was ok nearly 3 ft, bit crowded and inconsistent but still some decent waves.... but as Low tide was middle of the day and it got better..almost a perfect day
3ft of swell sunny day and a reef to myself for an hour ish and only shared with 1 other for another hour or so... If its a 4 ted it's as good as 4 can be up here... Perfect LB waves and even the SB guy was getting heaps. Plenty of wall.
So I totalled over 3.5 hrs today...
My arms are like noodles....
Now I'm going to smash a BBQ chicken and have an ale...
Does it get any better ?.?.?
3-4ft, pretty straight but some were hitting the bank nice and thick. pretty hard for me as im only paddling and popping up with one arm(some waves the pain was worth the paddle. the bourton bullet loved it today,held on the walls with confidence and i really did need the speed to make some today. got two sick barrels that i wont forget in hurry. got about twenty beatings that i wont forget either. should be getting my new camera soon so i will be able to post pics again. now to get into some painkillers and relax
i still have not overcome my fin chop fear yet(first injury to ever spook me) so some waves i was not commited.....**** i hate going over the falls
...on shallow banks
Sounds like a fun session Chrispy...envious. I am stuck in the emergency ward at the moment with a drip in my arm....surfings out for a while it would seem. Oh well not the end of the world just a small set back
Thanks fellas....pain killers have kicked in nicely! Bloods and urine tests have come back empty so they have sent me home for rest - sure beats being admitted for observation and surgery. I am only a 10 min drive from there so if it flares up again I can be back pretty quickly.
If surgery is required Ted jump on the plane and come on down , we have half price Friday specials ,castration is my specialty .
Seriously hope it all goes well sounds a bit serious . Nothing worse then being sick or injured .
Little 2-3 footers here today good fun on the longboard . Will try and get some pics up latter .
Took a drive to the beach today to get some fresh air and do my head in.....4ft and cranking. Hope you all getting some
well,im sitting her at the balcony having a lychee martinee while the girl gets a massage finished. daneli,hope you scored futher down(shame we bailed the book in to surf. the wreck,fast and closing out...for the kooks...me i got some nice ones will get the wife/gf/personal ho
to take some oics tomoz
Some fun ones down this way today. Strong SW wind making for a tough take off and the swell has a bit too much east in it which is not ideal for this spot. Long waits between sets but some fun ones to be had.
^^^^^love your work ted towball has been a bit slack for New Zealand tourism though. lift your game towball
well it was a disappointing trip to the beach this morning....was hoping that the swell had arrived in fury and the sheltered bays would be clean and nice....sadly not the case. There are a few coming into the bay but its not really worthy at the moment. Heaps of swell heading up the coast but not turning the corner sadly. The exposed beaches have whitewater to the horizon. Maybe later in the day it will pick up - fingers crossed.
^^ +1. Except we don't have a bay, it's just horrible here, swell has backed off but, Swellnet was calling for an afternoon increase and a bit more east in the swell, so you might get a few later Ted.
Combination of swells. Easing S'ly swell from 6-8ft at south facing beaches early, with a building SE'ly swell during the day to 8-10ft+ by the a'noon. Smaller 4-5ft waves at open beaches, rebuilding in the a'noon to 6-8ft. 3ft surf inside southern corners, also building. Surf size likely to grade smaller in the south. Fresh and gusty S'ly winds, possibly SW for a period on the Northern Beaches
The bay has cleaned up nicely - but the wind is far too strong for the short board - even the boogies were getting blown off the back. Sorry about poor image quality - there was not a lot of light to play with.
Nice shots Ted that was the same long boarder that was out the previous day.
Good surfer by the look of it. I'll wander out tomorrow when things settle down and get some shots around here.
yep thats the same guy - he has a real infinity for the tube. I will be down your way a lot over the next 6 weeks SMH - doing some work in Jamberoo, Shell Harbour and Kiama - if you are back in the water and fancy catching up for a surf let me know. I will be coming down on Wed nights and leaving the Sat night. Will have lots of free time for waves
