noosa was flat as stated but lm had a tiny glassy one around lunchtime

Scored a few nice ones early today .... timing was magnificent too I got out just as the blowins were arriving en masse .... lubbly jubbly too farken easy

I got skunked a little by teeing up a surf with a mate who texted me and started carrying on like a baby about where we were planning to go being to big for him and talking mad talk about heading to a bay where it would have waist to head high. Maybe.

Anyway, I talked him round to a wave that picks up a little less swell than all of it. Had a lot of fun and got a bunch of waves on the 8'. One late drop where I had no expectation of making it and nailed it sticks in life mind and I have been playing it back. It's cool knowing a board didn't let you down because it was pretty much vertical and as I took off I expected to be nose diving, but the rail bit and came round.

A few pics. In the background of the first is Cow Bombie fluffing around. Twenty years ago we used to look from here and wonder if it was surfable and exactly how far out it was. It was further out than expected, was surfable, and was way bigger than we could have imagined.

Got a call at 4.30 saying it was rubbish .....Got another call an hour later saying its cleaned up and fun....So enjoyed some waves the crew

\got a board to the head yesterday at the alley in knee high waves by some idiot chick on a longboard

No injury? If not, lucky. A bloke today opened himself up when a barrel clamped on him and his board hit his temple. He didn't know how bad it was and went in when I told him. He probably needed a couple of stitches. Reinforced my decision to Gath it up for solid waves or crowded conditions.

Nice pics Drip, I like that surf spot. Used to surf there a lot coz I worked at a vineyard over the road from the turn off. Wasn't a prob with the Hilux, not sure how the Xtrail would handle the rocky parts. Roughly I imagine

Had some fun on my 6'4 today. Bit of size & I had a nice little sucky spot away from most of the crew. But my arms got tired pretty quick & had to grab the log. Really need to fix my CW whalebone for days like today. The logs not suited to overhead waves, still fun though.

Thought that would be the case...would probably have to do the walk of shame with the xtrail. I'd prefer to head down the next place North but last I heard something big washed up attracting things with big teeth.

Someone was telling me a few days ago CALM removed the whale carcass. Dunno how they would have done it though. And mates who ignored the beach closed left the water pretty quick when a huge submarine went between them in the line up. Muppets.

Surprisingly good waves today with only a few guys out on short boards. I went straight out on the log without looking not expecting much, then popped in for the short board since every one else was riding one. A very rare event at my local. Had so many "just one more wave", waves but was just too fun to bail...

Blissfully wrecked

Sydney sucks for waves still

Very ordinary banks here Ted. Hoping this rain and weather might fix it a bit. I'm not feeling a whole lot of sympathy for you with all of that Indo time you've had

Timed well for the cross shore to swing onshore & bring in the gazillion 666'ers. Waves not holding up well today, but the odd nice set wave hitting the reef right. Just a quick couple of hours after yesterdays marathon

Looking like absolute cr@p tomorrow...

Just about to leave now. Nor east swell which always break better around here.

Have a good one.

Cleaner up your way than I would have expected Capatain, but I guess that wind did back right off after about 0830

Bit better than expected this morning...got down just before 7 coz I was expecting the wind to turn onshore. Seems a lot of people thought the same & were having a look at some ugly hung over looking conditions. The carpark crowd bailed & I headed out on the shortboard. Got some nice long fast crackers in between the close outs & the wind backed off to some fairly nice conditions, but still wrong swell direction making for choosy wave choice. Lightning on the horizon was cool

Swell dieing in the ass & bad winds for tomorrow. Good to get a few today coz the weekends not looking good for here at all...

Northerly still up setting the points but this 50 min south was taken a hour ago
