Sorry for the sponger pics but he was the only one out to take pics of
Lots of fun, chest high drainers, the odd one about head high, plenty of tubes. New board is fun too.

No banks eh....does this mean none of those epic early spring gems that we normally get? :(

Well, I couldn't follow doctors orders and had to get in the water. I honestly did not see a single other surfer out this morning between Sandtrax and Cott. I was in the water just after 6 and got out after 8. I had Cott all to myself except one other guy that came out for a very short while. Very odd, never happened to me before...but I'm not complaining

Waves were pretty crappy though. Lumpy as all buggery, hard to judge and the wash going back out to see made the little bottom turns a bugger. Still...got salty, got a few waves so nothing to complain about

I'm thinking it's in front of an ugly "resort" that you might find if you went beachcombing.

Got out yesterday at my local. Extremely weedy, but no one else around except a couple of my mates, weed must have scared everyone off. Was a pain paddling back through the weed, but wasnt effecting the quality of the rides. Surfed my 6 foot 7s superfish, so it was like putting the trainer wheels back on my bike after surfing the 5'4 biscuit all winter. Great fun, got a couple of 80m rides all the way into the beach. Nice to have the sun out as well. Hoping we get a couple more spikes in the swell before the summer flatness hits.

Would I lie to you?

Anyone been down to Secrets in the last few days? Need a morning surf tomorrow and the Leighton/Cott region isn't throwing up quality.

I was there last week...was okay.
Hopefully some stand still around.

Suba, venture a bit further and you'll find some quality banks, you'll need to be near a golf course. Some nice rip bowls along that stretch.

Even a bit further south gets real good but needs size to work well.

yeah it's been a bit hit and miss there Doggie during this winter, too many northerlies. The golf course stretch is shielded a bit from the northerly so I think that's helped, had some great sessions there in the last month.

I was there when they had the comp out the front, went north about 50-100m had a bank to ourselves, very nice

^^ I know

Surf's up!

Yeah, but I was supposed to have a day off for "Zuke's 2". Couldn't swing it.

Lazy morning. Checked out cott at 6.30, not bad but too many people. Went to leighton, got my own bank. Odd good one came through, perfect conditions just not enough swell.
