Swell kicked in a little this morning but didn't have much push to it. Trigg was full of weed, Suba would have had a ball.
Surprised how small most other northern breaks were considering the size at Trigg. Was a bit wonky,and still a little straight - main problem was the crowd - it was packed to the max... (with some comps at Seconds). Although some good waves were coming through I had an ordinary surf - was feeling lazy and just couldn't be F'd hassling...
Wind turned 11:45am.
And yes some weed - but no too bad where I was.
Had a ripper of a session around 3rds - away from the crowds though. Little/no seaweed and there were many more peaks than usual. Saw some brilliant waves (by Perth standards) go unridden - particularly the bigger stuff. Rode some all the way into the beach, given a few pumps, fitting two or three cutties in too and a floater. Got there about 11.30 to light southerlies, but for the most part it didn't affect shape. It truly glassed off for about half an hour early arvo and then the breeze picked up slightly. Exhausted, I couldn't be bothered trying to get anything more out of the wind affected stuff.
From the sounds of it, it really is a crucial matter of picking your spot on the beachies at the moment.
Sitting at home sick while the surf cranks.
Bakesy and zuke have ya got any pics of left reefys or outer reef rights to help increase my cope?!
Went past Scarbs & Trigg an hour ago - it's really trying to LAGO, but the swell has dropped heaps - both size and consistency. Still some nice shaped set waves - best I saw when I pulled in to walk the beach was just south of first car park.
Massive drop in the swell - it's now barely chest high at Trigg. Crowd down. Some weed.
Shape got better through the morning. Southerly came in at 10:00am and a few crew left, but it swung back offshore by 10:45am and the sun came out shortly after.
If you were patient there were a few fun ones coming through...
Im back in town this Thursday, whats the swell prediction going to be like this Friday morning? Im frothing to roll the shoulders over!![}:)][}:)][}:)]
This morning was flat but I was watching the swell slowly rise today, so I took a chance on my own and after a later than usual start to the trip I headed out there.
It was worth it.
Head and a half.
Caught a glimpse of this
Lucky for me it was just a friendly sea lion
^^^^
good to see a photo looking into the pit zuke. that place must get heaps of swell if it was head and a hald yesterday.
Took the SUp out with kids at local point as surf was down and had a play on tinny waves, seriously in the waves its so much harder than it looks. Ended up picking up and rushing home for a board change and back into it until dark.
Ended up with about 12 other lidders but with a small Northerly push only here and there i was able to dominate over them for once and got a heap of fun little waves. Maybe they were scared I'd go get the SUp back out
Spent all morning skate boarding with kids, playing on balance board and today i am feeling like i spent the day wrestling the hulk
