There are plenty of good uncrowded waves around at the moment. Brave the cold and they're yours!

That's what I've been noticing. The thing is...the water isn't any colder than any other time of the year. It's just the air that cold. Throw on a steamer if you must and paddle out and it makes no difference, I say.

I'm not complaining though. One other dude paddled out yesterday and we had a ball. Calling each other to take the wave...then some boogers came out and spoiled it

Yeah me too Rod, nearly stuck it up on mine but I have too many God fearing friends who may not see the humour in it. Gave me a tummy ache when I first came across it I laughed so hard.

Meh...not by much. At least not anywhere near Perth.

Spent about 4 hours in the water at Cott again today. Plenty of fun again but all the sands been washed away leaving quite a few rocks exposed right in the shorebreak. Makes for an uncomfortable end to a wave.

Just got back from semi-popular northern beachie... Best surf I have had in the last few weeks... consistent clean (light NE) 3-4ft overhead set waves with a nice amount of power and speed to make use of. Many more lefts than rights... [only caught 4 RH'ers].

More crew today but still plenty spread out and no hassling at all. Only had to call one wave...

Wind started to affect the quality at 9:45am - and there was a fair drift and a MEGA rip on the south side of the main car park.

Swell dropping...

Well, I wish I had gone where GPA was. I wasted 2 hours visiting the beach every few hundred metres between City Beach and 3rds and it wasn't happening anywhere. Sure, there was the odd wave that looked good but you had to be in the exact right place at the right time and there was no rhyme or reason to it, no shaped banks at all. Saw two snapped boards, watched a bit of the comp at 3rds, the boys were really struggling to get a rideable wave. There was a comp at City Beach groyne, no waves there. It was amazing how much the size dropped between 3rds and Brighton, a huge difference.

Another winter of straight banks by the looks of it. Winter's half over and it's never really happened. I haven't surfed my local once this year and unless something happens soon I doubt I will.

Have just spent the last three days at Wedge Is ,fairly average.Too much swell and winds were all over the place.Even Back-beach at Lano was doing its usual double-up.sideshore slop.Fishing was also non-existent.

Secrets was firing this morning. Just had to be in the water at sunrise to get the best of it.

Went to a spot i found a while ago, that can get pretty good, but today it stepped up to another level. Seemed a bit higher tide than predicted?, i think that helped .....was the only one out there

I tried again this afternoon, at a place I'll call "GPA's" . I picked the most-onshore, rippiest, lowest tide time of the day. It was past its prime. It could've been much, much worse but it still wasn't particularly good when I was there.

I need to get out of the city.

not sure where your spot is, but not much extra on the tide today on the WA metro coast - about a 10cm residual at most

Hey Legion, when i got to the spot where i went i nearly drove off again..wind was SE cross shore and tide was supposed to be dropping... but mucked around for a while and noticed the tide was getting higher? then the wind swung E-NE....and it was on!

Yeah, I saw your picture in the other thread. You're just rubbing it in . "Will I go out in 6' barrels or won't I? Hmmm".

If there is a wave over 1/2 foot then by suba standards it's pumping. Heaps of banks rolling through.

Same place as yesterday...

BIG drop in size and consistency. Some still had shape but were only a touch over shoulder high at best and a longish wait in between. Most were in the chest-shoulder high region and breaking too fast... it seemed to be a lower tide today.

Ended up calling it quits after an hour (and a lot of people were in and out during that time). Bagged 3 or 4 that were OK'ish... but certainly nothing like yesterday.

Oh well - it was some exercise I guess

Agreed mate. desperate for banks there. sat - 2 to 3ft close outs. sun - 1 to 2 foot closeouts. a few lucky crew got a couple that held up long enough to do a turn.

The banks are pretty straight this morning at Trigg, only the random wave holding up but the left at the point looked the most consistent with nobody out! It was bigger than the wave buoy suggested.

Had a bit of victory at sea today down freo way, couple of wedges if you were lucky enough to have one pop up in front of you, hard work for very little reward though.
Anyone else go for a bash??
