Didn't expect the swell to near on vanish overnight, but it did...got a few shin high waves on the LB & had a cool chat with a bloke about surfing Phuket
The misery continues here. Heaps of rain and dirty water and northeast slop. The weather forecast says more of the same.
Had some good waves here lately, some good size ones today after work. Had a great time on the psychedelic germ, decided I'm selling one of my other short boards coz the germ is just too good
Finally got out there. But the banks are no good now. Waist high waves that break out the back then go fat to non existent then a reform close out. Might go and have another look at high tide . there might be an OK bank in close further up the beach. Someone got bitten by a shark out there yesterday arvo. Nothing too serious but there was a few news crews down there.
Bit of good old onshore slop greeted my hairy self at dawn .... nice & warm but shiitty & wet .... saw a nice old prang still dunno how he did it .... and a couple of Quikky Pro Crackheads trying to get squashed in the middle of the road .... so no nothing to report here
Got out and got a few. Smaller today but cleaner but the banks are pretty ordinary. Better than nothing.
Theres some heavy rain and thunderstorms coming over pretty soon. Just checked the radar.Thats a nasty looking scene up there Climber
Still the clean up continues ... as the say "sticks and stones may break my bones .... particularly if I'm surfing "
^^^^ what's that on the rocks climber? Looks like a tip in the background,,, or another indo surf break
Got down there today and it was sunny, very little wind but tiny waves. Paddled up the beach and around the headland with sweat pouring out of me with the relentless humidity. Got back in the corner with 3 other guys on 666's and picked off a few nice little rights and lefts. They were all on 8 and 9 foot barges but I had a huge advantage on the 11 footer. Love that board and it's still good in the bigger stuff as well. Got a few days of southerly winds heading our way so hoping for some waves over the next few days. The water is finally clearing after all the rain we had. That pic looks like a war zone Climber . Plenty of sand missing too by the look of it.
Just had a look on my way home from night shift. Pretty small but there seems to be some banks on some other beaches near home. The swell is supposed to pick up today so I'll have a look around lunch time.
Got a nice surprise , an offshore greeting couldn't get out there quick enough - nothing extra-ordinary but bloody nice to bag a few before the wind went back onshore
got a good bit of the tide here ..... swooped on a couple of really sweet tubers while it was on the go go .... ping
