yep, came in here around 3pm, some nice solid slabs hitting the beachies and my usual haunt, stayed out until 7.30 but was kind of spooky

Well I got shacked off my phuking tits. 13 hour day with lots of driving and two surfs. Had Shallows the best I've seen it, long, long right hand kegs with maybe 10 crew in the water. Yalls main was insane, no doubt the pics will start turning up over the next few days. Keep an eye on epic swells. Apparently Supers was nuts too.
Had another surf on the way home that on any other day would've had me frothing.
Just walked in the door and about to crack my second dirty red can.
Will stick some pics up in a bit.
PHUCK I looooove north swells

Hows the tide!!!! SOOO Full.
Big shark out this morning Bakesy, some tosser rang up the radio station and said he had a visual of it swimming in to the cut. I was near so I went for an eye ball, spoke to the fisho's on the rocks and had a hard look. I wish land based humans would stop talking rubbish. No shark in there.
Went for a look this arvo at the end of the street. The swel was kicking but the tide had stopped the wave from doing it's thing. Another 1/2 mtr and she'll be sweet.

yeah had that "look" about it and a few fins popped up towards the end of the sesh, harmless though but had us thinking. Tide so high you couldn't stop on the beach at 6.30, one or two unusual bombs coming through just down from the usual, with two guys surfing a seldom seen right due to the tide, wish I had the camera

I was gonna have a look in there on the way home Bakesy but thought the swell direction was all wrong, that and I was pretty sure this other joint would be alright too. Some ultra fast thick ones out the front of the blue house too, tried for a while but didn't make any.

Nice shape, that green room shot looks good size until you see the dude on the left and it is only waist high. It loves that north swell.
And no shark LOL.

The sweep actually wasn't too bad Prawnhead. Bloody good fun and a pretty cool vibe in the water, lots of waves to go around.

Thanks for posting Smicko - some unreal shots there. That fella from Epicswells sure does know how to use a camera! Some of yours are pretty good too! Envious of your sessions yesterday. We would kill for some quality like that over here right now.

Looks like it was going off down south! Any metro reports? I looked at about 9:00am but couldn't get back down in the arvo.

No chance Sparki. Even if you got into one you'd end up on the sand before long.

Yeah i sat and watched sandtracks for a while around 5ish wishing it was 20m deeper, nothing happening at cables either. there was about 30 out at leighton groveling for terrible waves. A heap of lids and even a couple of sup-ers about. Went for a swim instead. Saw one guy on a shorty get a half decent wave in about 45mins of watching.

Where was that?

(I am sure no secrets given away as probably only works once every 5 years )

Fair enough - I am sure it works 356 days of the year and you will get lynched if you let the secret out

^^^^ Just guessing could be north of Exmouth maybe Dampier. The rocks on the point in the background are a bit of a hint.
