Hi everyone. Just a quick note. There are plenty of waves about. Probably about should high at the moment in the bigger sets. Not much in the way of wind. The direction is Nor'East and speed is supposed to increase to about 20 knts by this afternoon.

I'll try and get a pic from the beach in the next hour or so.

Still looking good for tomorrow and Friday.

East Corrimal was where it was at today, fully powered on a 4.7, half mast sets, straight up epic...until I snapped my mast in the dumpy shore break.....faarrrk! Two more days of wind to come and i've got no mast! Don't suppose anyone around Wollongong has an Ezzy 400 top section they want to part with for cash?

Amazing, with all the masts I've broken over the years (i.e. since masts became 2-piece) , I've never broken a top section, always the bottom, just near the boom clamp (SDMs that is).

Good luck in getting a replacement!

That's what I thought. Should have gone up there. It started out really well here with 25 knts that gave way after about 15 minutes to an average 5 - 10 knts. . Sadly the waves kept getting better and better. I ended up grabbing the SUP and whacked a sail on that. Managed to get a few super long rides in... actually I think that was the cleanest surf I have ever seen in Gerroa. Just a shame about the lack of wind.
