not ideal Smicko but if you were patient and selective you got rewarded, plenty of power in the swell too, much better than last week.

Fun waves at BR & CS yesterday. Head high and glassy. Relief to get back in water. Photos coming.

I went away and scored awesome waves, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

however i really struggled to surf them. maybe it was a bit beyond my skill levels.

confidence levels took a real shot in the arm

Few waves an hour+ north of Perth.

Was glassy at 9:00am, but had a bad case of new swell wonk - was shifting all over the place... some set waves over head, but most only giving a very short and at times fat wall to work with. Wind started to gently come in about 9:45am and it was all but over by 11:00am ~ 6.5/10

Had some fins in the water - but thankfully some dolphins snaking us on the inside...

Struggled a bit with the new epoxy board - paddles fantastic, and catches nearly everything you point it at, and it is FAST, but it seems very skatey/twitchy... stuffed a few moves I would have normally made, board just went out from under me or skipped as it hit a chop...

GPA are you riding yours as a quad?

I also saw a 7'3" on line in Beldon? Is that yours?

Still yet to get a good play on mine. Was going today but woke up with a banging head ache.[}:)]

Yep Quad - both my old Poly V1 and the new Epoxy V2... they fly on a good wave!

No - I'm in Kingsley.

It takes me at least a good 4-5 surfs to click with a board... so not too worried just yet - a bit frustrated though as I haven't got to the point where I forget about the board...

Nope - but Port Denison beaches were FULL of weed over Easter - 5.2m swell on the day before Good Friday... it was sitting over a meter high on the shoreline - for 2-3m wide and then a 20m weed soup into the water... even out the back it was full of small bits - Blech!

Started at the point and let the drift take me..Ended up were i thought i should have gone out.

Had a bit of size but started to get sea sick it was that rough

Boxing last night, no dinner and a couple of hours paddling i was stuffed to say the least..

A few guys ripping though.

Looked alright this morning except work kept me without a board and a business proposal resulted in my ego and self esteem getting a battering like the size of 4m dumpers down at trigg on a stormy day.

Least to say, praying for good waves to let loose and may God watch out for those who drop in on me or whom I drop in on.

Mate, if you want two 5'6s Actually cut that. I'll take your lead bud and hire one or an SUP and head down to Perths most popular point.

Was better than expected at Perth's most crowded beach... some shape at long last.

Got down a little late at 9:00am and I'd say I missed the best of it... was all over by 11:00am when the SW finally got hold of it...

Crowded but not ridiculous.

Right on GPA, had a surprisingly alright session. Even managed a mini close out barrel. Had a beginner constantly sitting in front of me and getting in my way. One turn and I'd stack it almost hitting him. Let it go cos I remember just last year that was me

What a difference a day makes; as it was close-out city with a side serve of back-wash early this morning... was just rubbish until the tide filled in about 10:00am... got OK until the SW'er started lumping it up around 11:00am...

Pretty much the same up north! Few good rides but pretty sloppy and lots of close outs

Well by 8:45 when I got there it was starting to get crowded... waves were very ordinary... swell dropped massively from yesterday, and dropped further by 10:00am so grabbed the mal and had a few fun rights as the wind gently came in (and improved the waves up until it got to about 8knt or so).
