The dream is over..wonky closeouts this morning.
Pretty good week overall though, not too many weeks I get to surf 4 out of 5 days!

'Tis but jealousy...
No, the other way mate, turned up in my inbox this arvo. Looks like bloody Jeffrerys or something hey?
Northern novelty break not quite doing it... 20+ out waiting for wonky shoulder high wedges... looks like the tide is a bit full, but suspect it has more to do with the swell direction. Watched for 20min and did not really see anything to tempt me...
Smot has some BIG bombs coming through... at least 2x head high. Single wave sets and the inside section gets way fat so the boys are getting out ok. Fun to watch that size holding up at a metro beachie.
The irony that everywhere's pumping besides the place thats suppose to handle the northerly wind the best. Even better, everyone seems so stoked; friendly and chilled. In particularly I watched a grom call his mate to drop in on him and rip up the wave. As they were paddling back out, said mate that was dropped in on was going off telling his mate how good his turns and sprays were on that ride. Now why can't us adults do the same!?
Hope everyone got waves today!
South Cott reefs were the closest to going off they'll ever be. Some nice, sucky take-offs on head to just over head high on the biggest ones. Lots of people out around Cott making for a great atmosphere. The winds weren't strong enough to stuff everything up, but still made it nicely challenging.
Now why can't us adults do the same!?
Because when adults collide in the water the results tend to be slightly more painful and dangerous.

Did you see the carnage at Smot on the low tide? Quite a few boards in need of repair.
And one Japanese fella. Those guys are in trouble once their leggie snaps.

Yeah - I went back down at 3:30pm and sat there for an hour watching... not quite as big, and not quite as consistent, but still some of the biggest metro waves that I have seen for a long long time. Only 5 or 6 out and one guy was consistently sitting too deep and although he had a go, all I saw was him go over the falls or otherwise bail... still he was out there having a go and I wasn't.
The novelty break was a lot better on the lower tide, but still nothing special and not worth sharing it with 15 boogers and 15 other blokes.
Fscking father's day. Managed a half hour to sneak down and torture myself watching stomping grounds, but that was it.

surfed smot early with only 6out biggest most perfect bombs from the south i can ever remember 7/10 then surfed further north on the lower tide 4 out
pretty crap inconsistent4/10 surfed sat night in the storm fun only 3 out till 9pm clean 5/10
The ocean is hungover this morning. Checked a couple of metro beachies... Good size, unrelenting and surprisingly straight.
Other spots attracting less swell should be good today. Off to the office.
Still plenty of swell...surfed a place I've had my eye on for a few years, bit seaweedy but fun ![]()
Was up in Perth for my sisters birthday yesterday. Rick Ardon's had some hollow bombs coming through. You could of got hell pitted if the 4 foot backwash didn't destroy you ![]()
Had a quick little metro beach sesh this morning, was more like a cardio workout and duck diving practice.
Made it out the back after about 10 min, avoided a few bomb closeouts then it was time to try and get back in, bit of a mission but still a good workout ha ha
Had a local break all time yesterday, wind faded away, swell pumped and crew was moderate. Some of the longest rides I have had in a while ![]()
Surfed the Beach break i surf up my way. Got out the back and it looked okay but in theory thats were it ended. Washing machine and drift all over, Caught a messy wave and then just spent 10 minutes trying to get the hell back out
The sets just kept coming and eventually i gave up and called it a day![]()
Watched for about a further 10 minutes and just no body was getting waves so felt a little less kooky![]()
I call that feeding time dave. are you busy? got a couple of repair jobs while i'm still out of action. seems like i'm missing one of the best winters for at lest the last five years. what do ya all recon?
Had the afternoon of so traveled down to were i thought there maybe a bit of protection from the Northerly. Found the spot with two guys out. One a local lad absolute ripping. They came in and i had Watched for too long but eventually went out. It was untidy but enjoyable waves rolling in. Caught three but sadly duck diving under a bomb that once again went on my head i creased my board
SO next wave in![]()
Not happy![]()
Some bombs this morning locally, got a couple of nice ones on my bigger shorty, leaving the fish at home was a good call (except when I had to duck dive
)
