Yeah i'm hoping to head out Friday. Not sure of that chances though a week before i head off for the surgery. Will head out with you if your up for it Pittsy maybe even head around to the mouth which would be alright for you i reckon. Learners Bay is in a bit of trouble lol. 23 DEGREES FRIDAY which will be nice after like 15 or 16 days or something of 35+.

Keep us posted with the forecast Jimbob -you got access to the 7 day buoyweather - hard to decide what gear to bring.

I'm not sure to bring two wave boards or a wave and big freestyle - theres too much competition with the wifes three suitcases, hairdryer, and all the other"essentials" kids surfboards, boogie boards and general "stuff" to bring all three.

Swell forecast is good too - I'm heading in thursday morning - leaving Tuesday arvo where is it best to go with a 20-30 knt nw- w predicted for Thurs? around to beachport or in the town corner of long beach?

Russh yes I have 7 day buoyweather. even though you have already left i'm sure divaldo will want to see it as well.
You will be best of on Thursday at Beachport, left of surf beach, cross off to cross from the right,you can park at Robe turnoff if you haven't got a 4wd. there is a lot of weed in close.

Have a good time guys, I am not going this year, heading to Streaky Bay tomorrow.

It looks like the wind and swell is going to do the goods this years. Have fun!

P.S

Russh, dont forget your fin bolt for the skate.

Hope your gonna sail Granites with a howlin SE'r - I've surfed it heaps don't know if anyone sails it though that would be awesome - but could be a bastard getting in if your get nailed in the bowl though!

The bolt is in - I used it last night for a fun blast at Seaford reef - swell backed off from the weekend though.

Streaky should be very nice indeed enjoy and photograph!
