I have a mate who has flown to Indo and another who arrived in Gnaraloo yesterday. The bloke going to Indo surfs 8-10'waves on a 6'2" so he is no shrinking violet but he said Gnaraloo would be too big and heavy for him. Personally I ain't convinced. The forecast I have seen for Gnaraloo looks like sweet solid fun without entering the realms of "OMIGOD I AM GOING TO DIE". 6-8' not 10-12'.

But then again, what do I know? I am a coward.

I don't for a second buy that Gnaraloo forecast. I'm calling 10ft plus and want no part of it either. I really don't know where to go, my usual will be a wash out. Local and Mandurah should pump but I hate people, south the same but biiiiiiig. Got somewhere in mind but it'll be a punt.

You have to take that punt, because if it pays of with great waves and no crowds its a much sweeter feeling than surfing you usual.

Spot on Lord Huge, perfect forecast to spend a little bit of additional time and check places that can spring to life.

The usual spots will be ridiculous with crowd, they attract idiots like a magnet, they can have it. Waves there will be good but the amount of people makes it hard to enjoy.

Ill be looking at a few 'novelty' waves.

Lol. Well I am looking for a 9'6" for down here. My biggest board is 8' and there is no way that is big enough for where I am considering.

going to be so many freakin people in the water all weekend. Hopefully though, enough spots will turn on that it can thin the crowd a little.

Can't wait to see what comes...

Seen it 2' a few years ago a couple of km south of there.

There's also that mysto windsurfers' bank off the moles but it needs an onshore storm more than a groundy.

Period's gone through the roof, it's on the way.

I just finished a paper today that I've been stuck writing for the past 9 months...which means I have the next week off before I've gotta go to Coral Bay for work. I'll take this as a present :)
