Another arvo at Cott...almost entirely to myself. Loads of fun :)

Just to change the subject

There are plenty of good uncrowded waves around at the moment. Brave the cold and they're yours!

That's what I've been noticing. The thing is...the water isn't any colder than any other time of the year. It's just the air that cold.

Wrong, it's colder.

Funny stuff..Laughed so hard. I would love to be brave enough to stick that on my FB page..

Yeah me too Rod, nearly stuck it up on mine but I have too many God fearing friends who may not see the humour in it. Gave me a tummy ache when I first came across it I laughed so hard.

Tomorrow is looking gooood!

Just got back from semi-popular northern beachie... Best surf I have had in the last few weeks... consistent clean (light NE) 3-4ft overhead set waves with a nice amount of power and speed to make use of. Many more lefts than rights... [only caught 4 RH'ers].

More crew today but still plenty spread out and no hassling at all. Only had to call one wave...

Wind started to affect the quality at 9:45am - and there was a fair drift and a MEGA rip on the south side of the main car park.

Swell dropping...

Well, I wish I had gone where GPA was. I wasted 2 hours visiting the beach every few hundred metres between City Beach and 3rds and it wasn't happening anywhere. Sure, there was the odd wave that looked good but you had to be in the exact right place at the right time and there was no rhyme or reason to it, no shaped banks at all. Saw two snapped boards, watched a bit of the comp at 3rds, the boys were really struggling to get a rideable wave. There was a comp at City Beach groyne, no waves there. It was amazing how much the size dropped between 3rds and Brighton, a huge difference.

Another winter of straight banks by the looks of it. Winter's half over and it's never really happened. I haven't surfed my local once this year and unless something happens soon I doubt I will.

Secrets was firing this morning. Just had to be in the water at sunrise to get the best of it.

I tried again this afternoon, at a place I'll call "GPA's" . I picked the most-onshore, rippiest, lowest tide time of the day. It was past its prime. It could've been much, much worse but it still wasn't particularly good when I was there.

I need to get out of the city.

Went to a spot i found a while ago, that can get pretty good, but today it stepped up to another level. Seemed a bit higher tide than predicted?, i think that helped .....was the only one out there

not sure where your spot is, but not much extra on the tide today on the WA metro coast - about a 10cm residual at most
fyi

I was in the water at sunrise this morning at Secrets - it was crap.

If there is a wave over 1/2 foot then by suba standards it's pumping. Heaps of banks rolling through.

Suba shreds

Surf beach was poo.
