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.
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.
^^^what when you were forty years of age. Sorry mate. Couldn't resist a longboarder leaving himself open like that.
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.
