Fun 2-3ft Beachies. Not great shape but a few diamonds in the rough

Sweet jesus I hope this spike we have approaching is the real McCoy this time - shouldn't have invoked the gods but sh!t I'm hanging farking out farking (as the little chrispychampion would say )

I'm at work but theres a peaky NE swell 3-4ft and not too wind affected. Hope its there tomorrow

reports were way off. was hard slog for a while with not much luck. paddle to one peak it would break on the other,paddle to the other and broke where I was
water was super dirty filled with lots of floatin weed,was a bit eerie at dawn and when the sun came up it was still black.
last hour managed to get some fun ones. here is hoping for tomorrow

I'll wish you the good smoke if you wish me the good smoke champion

Sounds like things are a bit grim there Pup.

Went back for a few this evening but the wind was well into it and the sun glaring through so decided against the long walk in and are having a beer instead whilst watching the tennis.

That decision came pretty easy hey

A few vary ordinary ones at 4 th. First decent ride I got out

But have definitely fallen in love with my short boards again

4-6 point break. Offshore. Odd barrel. 5 people out for the first 2/3 of the surf. 10 by the end. Swell building all surf and becoming more consistent. I had a new fin in the box and while it was good nice and loose, it was hurting my bad ankle so it put a dampener on the surf. I surf there a lot and it was as good as that joint gets; shame I wasn't on top of my game.

Can not recall the last time I saw a wave that was 6ft high ! ! !

Had an interesting morning.

4am text from Chrispy saying go south as the winds had not been favourable overnight for the northern end.
Meet at LM at 5:45 to a rising tide that just kept rising & rising & rising to a massive king tide.

Surfed for around 3 hours, changed boards from 9'6 to 10'2 as the tide filled, we scored some nice waves, Chrispy did a bit of blocking for me allowing me to score a cracker 4' wave from inside Snapper to the beach.

Then off to see SDR, drop off a board, discuss new board, chat about design, chat about fins, leave with 2 fins to try, a great morning really.

Thanks Chrispy for the laughs and banter.

P.S. Got the inside scoop while in the water about some upcoming McT news. I'd hold off on the 10' NR if I were you mac.

I ended up in the water at LM around 8:15 And what a big tide alright.
I ended up sitting just inside the rock at snapper. Got a few inside double ups but couldn't really get into the groove.
There was a drone with a go-pro buzzing over my head for most of the surf ( sounds like a humming bird ) It was taking footage of Steph Gilmore.
She was only out for around 1/2 an hour and the tide just got to full.

I would have seen you guys out there fore sure.

I went and had breaky then went back to check it around 12 but the wind had got up. Watched it for a little bit. Mick Fanning paddled out and made it look better
But it was Mick so I just sat around and watched him get a few

same as what vanders said....but on how high the tide was,well I paddled up the stairs at rainbow,well half way up was a fun day nonetheless

worse was driving past kirra,and lets say we made a poor choice

Steph , Mick & waves you lucky bastards
