some nice ones at lano beachy on saturday. pleasantly surprised it was pretty fun. swell this weekend holds we could be in for some keepers yeeeew
scored crowded super fun left barrels Saturday 8/10
scored solo session sunday ,super fun early heaps of barrel still 8/10 milked one little to far paid the price in urchin spikes
Had a great session on the weekend with clean head and a half hollow lefts and the ocean was alive. A couple of friendly sea lions hung around the whole time, I was snaked by a pair of dolphins and a school of Yellowtail Kingfish smashed a bait school right next to me then swam right under me. It was awesome!
Shame there's not really anywhere to surf at night, noticed between 10-11pm last night the breeze was a perfect 5 knot easterly, the swell buoy was almost a metre and best of all the period was 15. Would have been pumping.
Had head high straddie, bit bumpy but heaps of fun. Pretty big crowd yet plenty of waves to be had for all. Longboard tomoz at the goldies busiest secret spot yeeew
yes ,,, but the crew is getting edgie in anticipation of a drop.. and a change in the direction
gonna be a million out in the water in the next coupla days..
There were today too. Even a guy I would've sworn was smicko. I actually called him smicko but it was someone else.
You mean there's another fat, old, grey cripple out there?
Actually that kinda describes all of us doesn't it?
I haven't been wet for about 6 weeks Legion, it's doing my friggen head in. It's not gonna happen for a while yet either. Manhands is having a girls night tonight and staying at her Mums, then I've got the ruggies for swimming lessons in the morning and Mums' Day on Sunday then back to the grind.
Off to Kunnunurra for work next Friday and back the following Wednesday which'll take me through to the 25th before I get the chance to get wet. Driest spell in a loooong time, even longer than the last ear op
Lise is getting ready to use her manhands on my trachea 'cos I've been such a grumpy crunt.
Maybe try to sneak one in tomorrow arvo somewhere.
Are there local banks anywhere after this blow?
aaaarrrrrggghhh !! if only the forecasts were more accurate ?
...still.... better than the old days I believe,, when all the crew had to go on was a rough synoptic chart. ..
..and WA forecasting has to be a lot better than the east coast anyway..
It is the time of the year when a bit of local knowledge comes in handy, pack the wagon with the usual crew and get to it, had some of my best metro surfs in these types of conditions, if the swell is up can always find a wave, sometimes in places you never thought existed...
At 5 this morning it was howling..So so i got up at 6.30 to go running with wife instead.(Thought id go to get in the good books) Was sitting in car and realised the wind had all but gone, plus swung to the EAST ARRRGH, hopefully a few get waves because i didn't.
By the time I got out the seabreeze was in, so that only left one choice. Shame, because there were a few banks around. It was OK, but tiny swell. That's Perth.
Some nice bombs at Tom's and again at Contacio's for those with the patience.
(cycle past surf report )
Some weird kinda fat kinda lefthanders if you can outrun mals and sups an hour drive south.. !
I was all spaghetti arms and legs anyways, being out of action for a few weeks. Ah well, got wet, dusted off a few cobwebs.
