Ok'ish this morning, got a couple of hours in before northerly hit, swell from a westerly direction.


Swell is up and its looking great on the cams, get out there!!


Funny Yesterday was bigger than today (slightly) at my local. But still managed a few waves for a couple of hours of fun this morning. Loads of paddling on the spot to hold position along rock face but a good work out non the less. Pulled into a few worth while rides Not bad considering the 24 knot winds..

+1 For some reason lately, my best sessions have been with ugly onshore conditions

Witnessed a bit of biffo down at scarbs, is there really any need for it?

Follow the rules and be fair. If you catch 3 waves and the guy next to you hast caught any, why not share???

especially when waves are shiZen, why do people get so upset? are they all closet Garcias

saw some "good old aussie" intimidation at sri Lanka reef last week. Old Mate aussie already grumpy when i paddled out, asked him about conditions, general chit chat
He was pi55ed at the conditions, which compared to todays (5/10 on SRO was about 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 / 10) the "local russians" etc etc

He got into argument with Ruski about right of way (even tho it wasn,t concerning his wave) it turned into my dicks bigger, I'm more local (aussie lived on the Bukit) i got more money...........and influence .....then went up a notch to language based assault then to pushing shoving etc

all this when aussie didnt even want to be out there?????????????

why why why why

Some size in the sets at Trigg, but the SSE is taking it's toll. Lots of long straight handers around 3rds. If you could find a spot amongst the crowd and scored a left shoulder with no one in front of you it was OK (just - 5/10).

Saw a young bloke leave the water with 1/2 his board under each arm! Broken clean through right in the middle...

Well said mate!...

Some nice waves coming through this morning... but apart from one nice little baz I surfed more funny sad & retarded than usual. Mistimed a floater, board buckled cracked me in the knee. Did it again & almost sliced my hand open on a fin. Then went shopping, bag broke & dropped a tin of homebrew on my little toe lol...I give up on today, just gonna drink beer & try to steer clear of any dangers...

The southerly wasn't having to drastic an effect on the shape today (until after midday) - it was more the shifting banks. Rips after every larger set were changing the dynamics constantly this morning at 3rds. Mid morning, although size wasn't consistent, there was a period in which the waves just kept rolling in where I was. Everyone got their share.

I think I got the wave of the morning around 3rds. Was almost shaking after it coz it was such a rush. Late drop into a wally left that I didn't think was going to hold up (worth trying, I thought). Dropped in without a hitch, holding the rail the entire time (backhand) and crouching, the thing barreled over me. Unfortunately, I wasn't deep, but I have a feeling there was a foam ball behind me, so I didn't try stalling too much. Anyway, it kept dredging out in front and it was all crystal clear - I could see where the bank was dropping off behind the wave. It pretty much did this until it was a knee high flop of a wave about 15m down the line. Undoubtedly my best wave in the 12 years I've been surfing the northen beaches - just for the rush of it!

Hope you guys got something good today!

Had a similar wave to that about three weeks ago in the same spot but a right, no barrel but just kept walling up, felt wicked on the quad

Sounds like plenty of us are still scoring good waves deep into summer. How about some pics

Today was a little windy but still lots of fun.

I was there between 5 & 7 - so i'm guessing it didnt improve too much.

No worries Buster. I know it's not the best pic, I missed the drop but it's the last section of your last wave after the 'breeze was in. Still quite surfable.

Good luck Mick and take some pics.

JB, it's not that easy. Decades of research and hundreds of hours in the boat. Yesterday had a small window with the tide, swell and wind lining up. Buster had a 15 minute heads up, lucky he answered his phone.
