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

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I hate to say it but - I'm stoked it's gone northerly!! After 23 surfs in the last 22 days I'm officially surfed out and need to couple of days off. Might reacquaint myself with the wife & grommets today.

Did a hit & run mission yesterday to ***** and scored big time. Surfed through the dropping tide and building swell with max 15 in water - as opposed to 15,000 on Goldie points. My mate's wife scored bomb of the day - I wish I had her patience.

Apart from a snapped leggie and board washing up on the rocks 2nd wave all went off without a hitch.
Mid-week looking good again - better put in the board in for repairs on Monday

Had the neck longboard comp today in a very solid 6-8 ft with some bigger 10ft+ coming through every half hour. The waves looked pretty surfable hahaha.
Watched two champions paddle out and get bombed..then they caught some smaller 8ft
It was not just the size that was ballsy, the noise from the beast breaking had all us car park critics cheering them on.

Lacey there were some beautiful waves reeling along...I'm still amazed those two blokes could paddle out. The amount of water moving was frightening. It was just non stop.

Surfed another Sunny coast beachie this morning, won't say which one but there is a certain Island just a 15 min paddle away.( Let me say that the Left off the Island Looked EPIC and I counted 9 boats at 1 stage. As well as All those that made the paddle across )

The swell seemed a touch bigger today
What do some of you guy's think

Then once the wind kicked in I went back down the beach and took my new 2.5m trainer kite for a spin, just to give the shoulders a little more burn.
Hope to make the most of the crappy onshore winds in future and be kitesurfing by Xmas.

Felling pretty sore and sunburnt right now and veggin on the couch watching the F1, Think I'll be asleep straight after dinner.

Hope everyone got in on the action over the last few days.

Cheers

Lucky bastards .... I'm just hoping we get something early tomoz

Nice work obct and all the rest of has who got some good ones. Was dam nice to finally paddle into a few decent sized ones and cop a few on the head Makes you feel you are still alive. Did a coast run - Saturday paid enormous dividends but this morning it was not good with the northerly having blown all night. Not the end of the world though I raced home and had 2 magnificent sessions where the nicely lined up NE swell was being fanned perfectly by a light offshore. Hoping tom morning will see more of the same.

EDIT - southerly change just came through ahhhhhh

got a surf in today but the swell has just starting to drop now.
has been a fun three days back to work tomorrow so will miss the end of this
swell. but i always look forward to the next surf

Shouldn't have to wait to long mate, as this weekend looks like it is going to jack back up again.
Can't wait to see what new banks pop up along the beachies in the next day or 2

So it was good at your place then Stu? The swell really straightened up today. I did a drive by of yr place yesterday and it had too much north in it A lot more square here today. Had 2 fun surfs. Nowhere near as serious as yesterday which made it even more fun

Glad you got some goods ones Stu. Would loved to have stayed up the coast one more night but had a meeting with a lawyer at 10am this morning that I could not avoid. Ahhhhh. Next time.

I can imagine the crowd was ! Someone counted 80 on Saturday morning!!

Saw some nice pics of the place today. Sadly I was back in the office. Now I just need to wait for the next swell - lets hope its it not another 5 months

This swell is continuing to produce some lovely waves around these part. 4ft on the sets but increasingly longer waits between. Some beautiful waves today Seems the word is out though as the place I normally surf in the mornings with just a handful of blokes had a few extra handfuls this morning by 7:30am. I had had my fair share by then though Hope you are all getting some as well.

I let The Tracker run down the line at Winki this morning!

Went down to my local spot that nobody knows about and had a ball for 2 hours. Only small at waist high to occasional head high. Got some nice nose rides and caught a ton of waves and uncrowded. There were even some nice looking girls out there. It had everything. The water was a bit cold though.

Swell is fading fast up this way - just back from another not so secret spot and its now only 2ft with the occasional 3fter coming in. Beautiful shape though. Its been a lovely day

There was some really nice shaped little peelers down here too Ted. It was one big bank with peaks all over it. I just went up the northern end of it and pretty much had it to myself.
