Good faces from around 6am to 8am but again the tap just turned off ..... way cleaner than yesterday .... 2 days running nobody out farken rare hey

At long long last we are definitely going to get something that resembles a wave over the next few days.

Everyone has been waiting for this swell event now for 4 or 5 days. It must be the most publicised one I can remember. The surf will be busier than normal no doubt but with perfect winds and swell direction there will be enough spots firing to split the packs up nicely. Its game on fellas ! ! !

The SB chart is showing some promise at long last with a long period E swell and then our friendly forecaster Ben posted the following.





This weekend (Mar 15-16)

Couple of changes for the weekend forecast, but essentially it's all good news for surfers in southern NSW.

As has been detailed since last Friday, we've got a broad area of near-stationary trades across the southern Coral Sea, extending into the South Pacific, along with TC Lusi (currently a Cat 2 cyclone, may reach Cat 3 later today).

However model guidance has slightly sped up the southward track of TC Lusi over the coming days, and also made a minor adjustment to its core alignment and primary fetches (marginally more meridional than zonal, i.e. more north-south than east-west).

This has slightly downgraded the size potential, and also adjusted the timing of the swell. We're looking at a slowly building trade swell for much of Saturday ahead of the leading edge of long period 'cyclone swell' pushing through late afternoon. So don't be surprised to see a rapid jump in size during the last few hours of Saturday. Wave heights will then remain strong on Sunday, generally around 4-5ft at most open beaches, but with some of the region's more relable exposed swell magnets likely to see occasional bombs in the 6ft range. Due to the distant source, there will be a wait for the bigger waves.

But the really good news is that the models have also sped up an advancing front from the west, with an arrival time due Sunday morning (instead of Sunday night). Saturday will see freshening nor'easters all day (so conditions will probably be average at many spots) however Sunday's looking really good with fresh NW winds tending gusty W'ly during the day. Should be excellent surf at many locations.

Surfed some cracking waves at someone's favourite point....also heard a certain breezer had their big girls blouse on and drank coffee in the carpark watching....I guess we should call her the farmers wife fro now on

interesting and big call there chrispy. now that you have 'put' your self 'up' there you will have plenty of time to proof your 'mettle' in the next few month- maybe even this saturday from some reports.


ps has steve started my board do you know. thinking hard abut a shortie too and how does your wb go

hahaha,put myself nowhere. im just a kook, and yep saturday is looking big...sunday even bigger. maybe its the beatings i get on the beachies that make the points seem easier. but come on,today was far from big

no surf on the whalebone yet,not looking like it will be soon either,but doing plenty of looking at it though. not sure about your board. was going to drop by tomorrow after i surf your break and pick some fins up from shapers

surfed kirra today...was not ideal,yet was sexy and i got smashed a fair bit...but the ones i made i will drink and tell tall stories about tonight

next two day i will be taking heaps of pics....will have a board ready if i think i can hold my breath that long

Anyone know how to get surf fit in 12 hours...

Really regretting being slack on the rehab with the waves looking as good as they do this weekend.

It's like riding a bike SP - you will be fine. Having said that I did go for a paddle this morning in marginal conditions for that very reason n then backed it up this evening in much improved conditions. I have now driven 4hrs north and can see the waves breaking down the point I am staying in front off. It's fair to say there is blood flow! Expecting Sunday to be the day but Tom may surprise. And I like surprises.

Glad you got some good ones at Kirra Chrispy. - a wonderful spot. So is the extentsion to the groyne proving beneficial already with all the sand they pumped down just before the comp? Missed ya call as was driving. Speak shortly.

in at daybreak only one out - very soon became an absolute zoo , boards flicking everywhere , nothing like the good old metro wankers - could not believe the sheer numbers .... got some good ones in before I was forced out

You need to be a bit more assertive Pup

Its supposed to get up here tomorrow.

Already here smh. Drove 4 hrs north n have had two amazing surfs today. Stoked. Hope this northly backs off though this evening.

plenty big on the goldie. trained this morning then watched the surf for a bit.

this morning looks like being the best. later on on the lower tide its gone sideways.


i didn't have a board other than the log. thinking about how tough it is too paddle against the goldie point rips and how crowded it is- the only option for me with a limited hr range is a 666

i mean i can go to a pretty hard level but paddling up the point prone in a decent swell then getting a set on the head isn't what i my cardiologist prescribed

climber said..

yep it's here...in all its glory

Yes indeed it is. Swell has built throughout the day. Wind is now backing off so let's hope it cleans it up a bit before the dawn arrives. Will be waxing the big board Tom.

god i wish the swell would stick around for a month
