Didn't expect the swell to near on vanish overnight, but it did...got a few shin high waves on the LB & had a cool chat with a bloke about surfing Phuket

Such primo conditions ..a 666havn some fun ...banks are washed out so no long peelers ...

The misery continues here. Heaps of rain and dirty water and northeast slop. The weather forecast says more of the same.

Exactly the same here smh,bloody filthy water and all over the place,sun is out now atm but more coming next week apparently

Yesterday west is best..

Went back for another look but no good. We need some south swell and north east wind.

Got out and got a few. Smaller today but cleaner but the banks are pretty ordinary. Better than nothing.

I reckon its better than this ...... recent floods (taken yesterday) ... walked past it again this morning

Theres some heavy rain and thunderstorms coming over pretty soon. Just checked the radar.Thats a nasty looking scene up there Climber

Still the clean up continues ... as the say "sticks and stones may break my bones .... particularly if I'm surfing "

^^^^ what's that on the rocks climber? Looks like a tip in the background,,, or another indo surf break

Heh Cobra .. some of it is painting, where people write a message on the rock ... family messages mostly, but in this case you are right, a lot in the background is rubbish on the rocks washed / blown in by the sea and storms is what you are seeing. It is being cleaned up which is cool
Away from the main beach, I ran along my "home" beach (5-10 minutes south) and over the 4km stretch south I ran (8km return), the rubbish was sad .. buckets, fridge, many many bottles, plastic bags, unrecognisable trash, even a pop up gazebo was washed up onto the high water mark, not to mention the large amount of milled treated timber. Was a bit disturbing really. I did spend 10 minutes at the end of the run and filled 4 shopping bags of rubbish, but the impact was not that great.
Our oceans are precious and these "weather events" only go to add more as we are not careful enough with waste that washes into the systems that feed the oceans......
Oops sorry crew started to rant..this is where did you surf ..my bad ... I did not surf today

Just had a look on my way home from night shift. Pretty small but there seems to be some banks on some other beaches near home. The swell is supposed to pick up today so I'll have a look around lunch time.
