Plenty of rain here and a strong south east wind. Good to see the rain but the surf isn't looking too good.
hope we get that rain tomorrow . the grass is chrunching under our feet its that dry.
no surf but had a quick paddle on the broady and dropped a pot in. Hopefully some sandies for dinner

It's heading up the coast with the southerly so hope it gets there. My grass is the same . It's like a desert here. Couldn't wait any longer so paddled out into some sloppy knee to waist high lefts down at the local. I reckon I've had maybe 6 surfs in the last 2 months. Worst summer I can remember.
Just back from some knee to shoulder high waves at the local. Got a few. Not bad but the wind came up a bit strong at the end.
Some nice waves up this way by the look of it - took myself for a drive out to the beach and saw lots of people out there having far too much fun !
Mac has half the photo missing with the crowds. It was a the usual zoo. High tide and it's longboard heaven and the shortys are just hoping for scraps good luck after that

i agree the shortboarders go nuts on the mid to low then the longboarders have a crack.
nah Baz - you learn early IF you surf there ..... do not sit shallow or halfway ..... that's asking to be belted by some out of control Hipster , legropeless missiles , spewballs , undies , bits of trees & jellys
Had many close calls countless , zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Actually , after you've grabbed the coffee or coke .... wander back along the coast 5 kays or so ...... you will come across a patch with a big fat elephants snout for a landmark ..... here you will discover pure entertainment filth ..... it makes Cooly look like a kindergarten
Absolutely pumping on the points this morning just watched a guy get a wave from wide snapper into the beach at coolie and he didn't hold back.
One longboarder out and he was killing it.
About time we got some surf was about to give the boards away.
hottest summer for me back for a look at low tide.
The wind is into it now I heard Burleigh and The Alley were maxing out about 2 hours ago and the super bank was the only place holding the swell.
Pics please
Exactly. These Queenslanders have been moaning about no swell all year - finally they get some - so where are the war stories and the pics !

Been landlocked since Christmas. Surgery last Thursday, solid week of painkillers.
Appointment next week week with surgeon & start physio / rehab from there. Return to water unknown
Watched a couple of longboarders at the Burleigh Circus...they got a few long rides ...just waiting for it to drop a bit ...probably tmorow ...
Lots of onshores last few days :( fortunately still frothing from an epic session midweek, but really, really need a good wave now!

It's cleaner this afternoon than this morning I too waiting until tomorrow
Had my 9'6" gun on a fun triple head high offshore Bombie. A few big peaks drops, a few wally ones. Had it to myself for an hour and a half. One horrible hold down when I went left when I should have gone right and tried to backdoor the north peak from the south peak, didn't make it, straightened out, held on until the foam rolled me over, then it tried to smother me. Climbed the leggie eventually and came up gasping.
Sounds awesome Drip, swells passing us lately...havn't had a decent wave since I left your area, although it has been the best summer ever imo...good to hear ya scoring
