flies major nuisance thou
Surfed yalls today, I noticed a comp there for the yalls board riders as I came out the water taj burrow was in the final with 3 other guys they all shotgunned emu export cans and then went about there final.
classic taj just one of the boys.
In my defence it was basically my first decent surf in four months and I was that desperate I probably would have talked up surfin A cott main 1 ft shore dump
Now you've done it Sam, next thing there'll be warungs and porters waiting to take your gear down the beach and cheap massages for the missus and... or maybe not...
Maybe Gallows will continue to be just another crowded break down south.
Bolgo did you have a look north of town or just head straight south?
First session in the water for a while at a place called "Zukes"
. I can't surf at all any more. Only managed one turn that was almost OK, everything else was badly kooking. But the waves were nice and way bigger than you might expect. Might be some photos forthcoming.
I got some good waves down south today, or it would have been good if it wasnt for the circus that was the crowd. Still everyone in the same boat trying to get a wave without someone in front of them.
1 week on 1 week off
While all you suckers are at work Im surfing on my own![]()
Even better when all the holiday makers go back to Perth![]()
yes not bad GR for that week off, but if the week on is spent 1000k's from the ocean you miss out on the glorious before work surf that makes it a bit easier to get through the day, not to mention the after work session that turns a crap day into a better one, return home to the family in a much better frame of mind
Theoretically if all factors align the non FIFO's can surf 365 days a year. I surf with a few blokes that work at a local aluminium concern that pays like a remote site, 3 on 4 off (days) now these dudes have the life!! Even on their days "on" they get an early in![]()
Yeah Bakesy I agree. When I lived in Perth and worked in Perth I was surfing when ever I wanted. But it's Perth. Now living in the SW having 1 surf here is worth 7 surfs in Perth![]()

Back on topic.
Had a surf with a fellow 'breezer yesterday, (good to catch up Legion) gave me a chance to hit a spot out of town a little.
It was light offshore when we hit the water, really clean with some size. Head and a half on the sets.
The wind swung during the surf but the waves were still good. The second pic was taken just before we left. Hard to leave when it's like this but it was a fair trip back home from there.
Looks fun zuke.....have a left outer reef similar down my way but it's too damn sharky to surf these days
smicko
didnt go north, just down to BR
did have a look thru "town"
the beach looking on to the lagoon was like back beach lano on a public holiday
wall to wall cars, was frkin hot, so why not
even a camry
not the wild west "town" it used to be
should be pretty well fed there mate with all the marine life around that joint, I know someone who got sliced up by one of the inquisitive locals whilst paddling in to the boat![]()
Had a sneaky 90min session at a place called "Stingers". Far out, at least 20 stings with about 10 bad ones. I felt sorry for those people in boardies. At least I was lucky to have a long sleeve rashie under a springy so I just got worked on the legs. Rushed home for a 55°C bath, which did the trick. I'll cover all up next time. It was a relaxed atmosphere, probably because everyone was busy dodging jellies. A couple of local grommies only lasted a short while. Few boogers and shortboards. Even a goatboat, first one I've seen for years. The waves kind of sucked and it's an obstacle course, but it was fun nonetheless. Might ring in the new year with another session tomorrow by the look of it.
Scored nice long left walls this morning. Pretty crowded but that was good coz it decreased the shark anxiety a little bit!
not too bad this morning, wind dropped off around 8 which was OK but not much order to the swell, Tuesday looking alright.
"Stingers" again. No more stingers today, maybe one on the wrist. Me and a couple of grommies from yesterday had full cover today. A bit warm but better safe than sorry. Waves kind of sucked despite the marginal swell increase. Cool relaxed vibe in the water. Goatie got the wave of the day today after some confusion (first wave of a set I left for a young booger who didn't go, second one I paddled for but it faded so I didn't go, third one goatie was out the back alone and in perfect position). He got a couple of other nice ones too. Fun session.
And one more time. Shoulder in agony now after paddling the sweep continuously for well over an hour. A couple of painkillers and I might not bother tomorrow - the waves actually sucked today. Bodysurfing this morning was much better.
How good was new years eve and day!! Nobody around!! They should have Perth Cup on new years eve all the time ![]()
Well, it's complete sh!te today... where's that forecast 0.8m @ Cott (showing 0.6m on the graph)...after yesterday's strong SW'ers?? Was going to head north, but after seeing the wind thought better of it...
Trigg Point is a washing machine of waist high junkers and full of kids... it's white-capping everywhere through to Scarbs.
Nothing at Metts. Not even a boring Mal wave. No one out.
Toms has about 15 guys chasing chest high sets - but it looks rocky.
Saw a little kid (about 7yo watched by his Dad), sitting patiently off Grabbers... didn't even see him paddle for anything...
Groan!!
