Yeah I'm off to margs in two days. Wind's a bit gnarly but we'll find something sheltered.
I've ALMOST been enjoying the calm oceans these past few days. Been going freediving off Cott. Just got back and collected a full catch bag full of old fishing line and other rubbish left in the water. Disgraceful.
How good was saturday and sunday, every bugger that usually surfs the secret spots between tr.. poi.. and scar...gh mustve read the surf reports.
Thanks to the forecasters for gloomy reports no bastards dropping in, snaking or generally getting in the way, riding planks by the 1000s and best best of all.......
THERE WERE SOME REALLY GOOD WAVES (well good for our secret spots)
Even though it was cold and windy this morning there were some good waves to be had at around 7 between the main Northern beaches and only a few out. I'm not a big fan of the cold but it does keep the crowds away.![]()
Zuke.
just got back from a few days in Margs.
Some really gnarly waves down there. Great fun at the usual spots and even better waves at the secrets ![]()
Just had a quick paddle out at the reef.
Some real nice banks rolling through...got a few nice rides but the washing machine was too tiring ![]()
11:20am Wednesday 15th report:
20knt WSW doing it's best to stir up the sandbanks... let's hope so.
6 out at Toms - a touch over head high - but VERY lumpy and not too consistent.
5 wagging-booger-teens out at Waterman's Bay - shoulder++, but a bit fat - still, two shortboarders wetting up to go out. PS- all the 'retaining' sand bags under the toilet block are completely exposed...
No one else out Sorrento to City Beach.
Hoping for a protected wave down Freo way tomorrow if it's true SW and 3m+ swell...
Got back from Cott not long ago. Some pretty big banks rolling through and some real long rides. Way too many guys out though. Got a few nice ones before giving up. Don't like crowds. Anyhoo, haven't surfed out front of the tea rooms for years.
...fingers crossed my flight on Friday night to Bali still goes ahead...need some warm water waves.
haha yeah I've been to Bali countless times, I get there every couple of months when I'm lucky ![]()
Crowds can be brutal, but I tend to ride around on my scooter and find breaks with less crowds. But I'm not too fussed in Bali with the crowds. Waves are always worth it and I don't mind running over kooks hahahah.
Besides, we'll be surfing Lacerations in Lembo for most of the time provided it's working otherwise back to the mainland for Ulus or Padang...anywhere the kooks don't flock too....although, to be honest, some of the best fun I've had surfing in Bali has been shredding the Legian/66 sand bar...don't know why.
As for the 5'8" in Indo...yeah...we'll see how it goes. I've got a few boards that I leave in Kuta with a local friend that looks after my gear for me while I'm not there. The 5'8" will be dynomite around Kuta/Legian but might need other boards for the real deal ![]()
Can't wait!!! Haven't been for months.
Uhhmm, I thought ST hadn't worked 'properly' for 7+ years? In fact, I was of the opinion that from Floreat Groyne south hasn't had decent sand banks/waves for the past 10+ years and that Cott Main doesn't break anything like it used to 10+ years ago. Good if I am mistaken though, Cott Main used to throw up some peaks near the end of the groyne and a speedy little inside shorebreak.
