pretty good this morning, better in the morning. Also, a dude paddled out and told us that a sign was put up at The Cut regarding a sighting, I was there at 8am for a surf check but didn't see anything.

haha he wants to learn to surf first before learning to swim. looks like the swells got a bit more west in it today bakesy, it was roughly that size a little further south with a few bigger sets. the northerly was a giving it a bit more wedgey feel to it, not super clean but making it run off better than it has been.

Baksey you're a legend! I reckon watching him catch even knee high waves would feel better for you than yourself dropping into a wave of the day. Must be rewarding watching him go out. He'll also forever remember his dad taking him out and watching him surf. Top work!



Best feeling ever sharing a passion with your kids, two of my proudest moments this year was heading down the beach with my three girls (7,9, 11) all with a board under there arms walking down the path and paddling around together (flat day). Next was down on the south coast over summer with the 11 year old paddling out the back with me and sharing waves, going from riding reforms to paddling into her own waves and making a few

cheers

Sat afternoon Mulla point was working okay. Nice waves linking most of the way to the beach but only knee to waist high, a few bigger ones but not too consistent and very fast, only just make-able on a few.

Was out on my own for nearly 40 minutes until another guy joined. (made me happy as i felt safer then) But then another and another and gave up after 9 guys were all trying to work it out and sitting here there and everywhere[}:)]

Surfed a northern reef Sunday but hung over and should have stayed in bed
(seal out as well)

Then my wetsuit zip jammed and i was not happy from that point on, day just went down hill after that

On a boat demo today checked a reef off Hillarys and it was huge and nice form, but no one out

if that wave off Hilary's is known as SI or LI, I would rate that as one of the sharkiest spots I ever surfed. In fact, back in the 90's we surfed it all the time until one night on the news the largest GWS I've ever seen was filmed ripping apart one of the resident aquatic mammals. Thinking back it just blew our minds as we'd never really given it much thought, ahhh the nineties

I don't usually surf the weekends but I made a late call and went for a sundowner on Saturday at a nice peak with hollow lefts and rights. Had a ball but the nerves start to kick in once the water turns black.

Edit ^^^^ Great minds doggie, I posted the same time.



This week looks pretty horrible but the straight banks should get a good stir up so hopefully we'll get some good shape when it turns offshore.

Here are few pics from last week to get us through. It was a little windy at first but it cleaned up later, enjoy!

Hey Zuke I remember a storm maybe ten years ago now that produced some of the best banks Ive ever seen.
It started strong and kept going for two weeks, big 6m swells and NW winds blowing up to 60knots.
I dont recall one that big since which is a shame. It made the Trigg streach look like pipeline, some of the best waves Ive surfed there ever!!

^^^^ I don't remember that far back doggie but there's no doubt a good NW blow can really help the banks. The more swell with it the better I think.

I surfed Trigg on Sunday, why I dont know. I looked down the beach and its so steep in some sections and the back wash is horrible. From tomorrow onwards should mix things up but the wind isnt strong enough imo, swell is good tho.

We will see

I ate 5hit so many times recently from that backwash. You see your wave coming in, position yourself, paddle for it, look over your shoulder to make sure you're not dropping in and then finally as you stand up you finally notice the lump of water rushing back out from shore. You hit it at speed as your drop in, your knees buckle and the board winds up molesting you and you eat it again as the wave closes on you.

****ing backwash... although it can be great fun with some speed and actual anticipation.

If you can time your take off so the backwash pushes you up it can be great as well, I think it takes a bit of power out of the wave tho.

No banks, frostbitten toes. Don't think it was suba, but you never know.

It turned offshore at sunrise this morning but the beaches were out of control. Big, lumpy and shutting down. There were a few rips so hopefully the banks will get some shape but nothing yet.

I dont think the wonk in the swell will get any better until we get some strong offshore on it.

Sunday still looks like the pick of the days tho.
