^^^^ So that was you out there! I saw one guy out on my way back home this morning. The tide was high so with the small swell it was breaking pretty close to shore. There's certainly a few rocks around there.

Always good to get a wave to yourself.


Yeah i didn't get out for long. And there was a far wait between sets. I spent a bit of time trying to work out were to sit and which way to travel. Problem on your own is you second guess every wave and i often left the better ones Im kinda glad no one came out as it would have then been dreadfull if i'd of had to share

I surf Mindarie so used to close to shore stuff.

The back has swollen right up now and im starting to get very stiff and sore..[}:)]

Soft SW'er this morning... a little more size than I expected. Some shape, but it looked a little full - although a heap of teens surfing the reef at Trigg Point.

Whilst Trigg had a fair spread of crew, Scarbs was nearly empty (having said that I did not see anything worth talking about come through).

Trigg was going off this morning. Very light offshore with clean, glassy barrels everywhere.

As good as it gets!

Got out a bit late. At a reef: I should of taken my LB instead of being lazy and surfing the shortie that's permanently in my car. Perth's most packed beach: conditions started getting messy another average sesh. Another spot (I'd rather keep to myself): spent the rest of the arvo doing late take-offs and floaters. Just as uninspiring.

So all in all a half a day driving around for nothing all because I decided I should do some additional exercise before hand

Early this morning would have been glorious at the usual northern sandy bottomed haunches, had it not be for immense seaweed in various unfortunate locations. Also, a little more shape would have been nice - but there were some nice (short) rides anywho. I reckon another day of Tuesday like conditions and the beaches will be great.

Seabreeze was predicting an onshore and another site was predicting off shore for this morning

Glad we set the alarm for 6! Yeeeww

Here is another one, it was fun too. Although, I didn't catch this one as I was on the beach taking photos of it. To be fair I didn't catch the one in the post above either as I was also on the beach taking photos of it.






I did however catch lots just like these as there was no knobends out there dropping in just in case I didn't make the section.

Oh smicko, why did you have to tell us they were waves?

Now everyone will be looking for them. Is it Trigg?

Zuke, you may notice how the majority are sitting in what is the popular spot whilst two guys watch their mate pull into a smoking left about 100 metres down the beach, the spot another 150m up from that was cranking with one guy out!! WTF Other pic had one guy out. Smicko, I surfed the waves except for the one's I posted as I was on the beach with a camera in hand...

Hit the local beachie at the 10:00am shift change... was small but working off a couple of banks. Had some all the way into the beach - but was on the LB

BTW - I can't understand people who come out for 15-20min You should know it's ordinary before you wettie/wax up. I told myself - just an hour to roll the shoulders over - ended up doing 90min and had some fun along the way... but I saw three or four blokes come out and go back in again in next to no time... what's the point of that - you catch no waves and get no exercise - IMO it's not worth the time to rinse your wettie out...

Nope, I saw the same waves, but not at Port.


Stopped for a squizz at the Point this morning just to confirm why I don't surf there. What an unashamed circus!

Super glassy knee high waves Trigg > Scarb... there's some shape - but no pattern or rhythm to it - I reckon you'd be pushing to get 10 'waves' an hour. Def a day for the mal...

Wind changing now @ 10:55am...

Did anyone have a sundowner this arvo, it turned offshore and looked like it would have been OK?

Yes, lumpy enough swell to jack in seudo peaks. A bit of size on occasion too.
