Underwhelming start to the swell event where I was - hung over & closed out mostly I think the Southerly wasn't helping it at all , there were some bigger sets but they just collapsed with not much face to work
There will be damage to boards & bodies looking at some of the traffic interactment saw some sideshow clowns today
Massive amount of talk about this swell about to hit WA and Indo.I see on instra theres a lot of pros in Bali awaiting this swell which started to hit today.
Checked swellnet live cams this arvo Margaret River and it said 12 -15 ft so it's started
Messy ocean, so went to a rarely breaking point. Messy ocean. 4 quick bumpy waves and decided the brownie points from getting home early were worth more than more three foot waves. Should have waxed the longboard too. I will definitely be waxing the eight footer for tomorrow, but I would like the swell to drop a little. Or get a call tonight from my mate with the jet ski. Anything becomes possible with petrol assist. It really is cheating. I heard guys were towing North Point this arvo.
Do you reckon it will wrap around to the East Coast
Might get some south swell next week but it looks like Indo will cop plenty. Should get some good pics from Ted.
Cracking waves here this morning photo below 3 foot breaking in 6 inches of water I don't know who this longboarder is in the pit but he would have to be one off the best I've ever seen the logo on his board looks like Classic Longboard from the sunny coast

Yeah glad I was on my shortboard today,not that it helped.
Me an MR had some tiny beachies at the local, I got 3 average lefts, 3 bad rights and then went home
there was one interesting incident!!!!
near the beach, over the inside bank, I could see a little cross wave coming towards me, "yippee" I says to myself, " I can have bit of fun " skipping over this
so I take a half a step back on the hotlog to lift the nose a bit, the fin digs into the sand and I do a classic face plant into a couple of inches of water
oops, how embarrassing

You know what they say obct,if you don't fall off your not going hard enough
Hows the water temp in Sydney mate
Not too bad, I'm still wearing my leaky clapped out old short legged oneil 3/2 with a long sleeves adrenaline thermo top under it.
I was a bit chilly last weekend with the wind, but MR had on a brand new oneil he got at a sale a even he was a bit cold after an hour or so. It's really sunny down here today
And a late arvo.
What a day
Re Mark able
hey mac. the br sq is a special. the rounded pin isn't
Everywhere remotely open to swell was frightening. Found a little corner and caught some head and a half, double head high fun. Paddling out to the point from the beach was a chore with the longboard though. At least this time I had wax on it when I caught a wave.
It's only been small here but getting a perfect run of weather that's set to continue. Got two nightshifts next week which means I'll be off every day and will be in the water every day . Have not had a surf in a whole week.

Next week sounds good for you though. Hope you make up for it and come home smiling and stuffed.
A double barrel wave at rainbow.
Best wave ive had in years.
First one was so steep almost a skiing like edge body shape to stay there.
Second one was deeper.
Mac speed
I was looking at people watching me in that timeless sensation you get
Been a very long time since ive been in like that.
It was crowded and lots of people not making the drops including me.
Like landing in very shallow water.
But its all worth when you get that special
Mac said he got a really good first one.
However it was too shallow for lb's.
Well I wouldnt like to be trying it
I was paddling up the face and saw you slot into the first barrel and surprise saw you come out, yes my very first wave was unreal LM to the car park should have called it a day after just the one wave
bummer. one surf too many. waited for the palmy board riders to finish for a late on and right on cue it turn se wind.

nice stuff
no waves for me...two 40th birthdays and im in a place that is not very friendly anymore. The A.G.E virus has infected me
No waves for me either, Chrispy. I started packing for a trip up north, mowed the front and back lawns. After lunch I was eying off the surf, but the body was so stuffed from lifting things I flagged it. I don't remember doing that ten years ago. I think I am roughly around the same age as you. .....sigh.......
Around head high on the sets today. Got a few. Beautiful weather. Theres a big high right over us and bugger all wind. Wore a short john today and the water is still nice and it's nearly July . Going to do it all again tomorrow
Glassy. Double head high with a bit more on some. Lost count of the barrels at 4. Gotta get the practice in. My tummy is starting to get the little butterflies with anticipation for my trip. Probably more of the same again tomorrow. I'm not wearing anything other than a steamer locally though. Then again, I frequently wear a steamer in summer. No such thing as poor weather, just inappropriate clothing.
