Just checked the Scarb cam - trying to plan my day tomorrow - watch the GF with two teams I care less about - or look for an uncrowded surf...

Anyways... Scarborough looks about 6 inches and the only person I saw on two runs of the cam was a sole SUPer.

GROAN!

Im going to have a paddle on the big blue beast tomorrow down around that way, Pm me GPA if ya wanna meet up

But even a BIG tank needs a swell above 6 inches to get it moving... or are you just taking it for a paddle - as in arm exercise!

I will go down and have a look with the tanker, mate that thing could catch a ripple/boat wake no worries

Went out at a northern beachie after seeing 25-30 odd surfers on the bank at Trigg seconds... Looked quite good but I could not be bothered with the crowd.

Started at the very northern end - which was quite inconsistent (and very weedy) - but some fun chest to shoulder high waves if you were patient. Best part was there was next to no one out when I was there. Ended up moving 150m further south and scored three nice waves to finish the session...

Arms dead after 1hr 20min and a bag full of small waves.

Rode from Sorrento to City Beach - although the NW was in, it was light in patches. Tom's and Mettams and other places that usually handle a touch of seabreeze were not working well at all...

A couple of patches along the Trigg and Scarb section had some decent waves in amongst the wonk 'n' wobble of a 4knt seabreeze. Good bank in front of the Trigg Island Cafe with only two lids on it...

Even saw a solo SUP out at Watermans bay which was FULL of weed!

Had scabs infront of the flag to myself for an hour and a half yesterday, bliss

Off on a carpark hop...will report my findings tonight haha

haha, back already. Checked every spot between Sandtrax and Yelo Cafe.
All very MEH!

Yeah...borrowed that chika's car (still rebuilding mine) and had to go for a cruise.
Turbo diesels for the win!

Very hard to resist the urge to keep heading north! haha

haha, my last RB trip was at the end of October and still scored some quality

really lumpy this morning and all over the place, still got a few (semi) decent waves in at trigg before work.. no one around at 5:30-6:30

where are you Doggie?

At work

Some nice overhead peaks shifting around at Trigg Seconds. Quite shifty, but pure glass at 9:00am. Unfortunately, looked to be about 30+ crew out, with another 7 or 8 wettie-ing up in the car park and a surf school about ready to join them...

Headed north to another beachie - not much happening between Trigg and there...

Northern end was completely CHOKED with tonnes of weed - completely unsurfable...

Checked a reef break another km or so north - one mal and one SUP - and lots of rocks breaking the surface...

Went back to the southern car park of said beachie - was overhead, but whilst it looked like there were enough shoulders for a decent session, in reality I wasted an hour getting smashed by pitching lefts... wasn't just me - didn't see anyone get anything decent - but saw a few go over the falls...

Oh well - it was some exercise

Some good little peaks around, just checked it out on my lunchbrerak. Definately worth a paddle if the wind stays light. Saw a few groms getting sucky right handers through a rip section and punting off the shoulder. Woo Hooo

This morning looked the goods nice and early, a little straight but you gotta make do with what you got on ya doorstep, beats workin anyday!

Had a 4 hour holiday marathon at nth scabs/sth trigg - secret spot x. Good crowd early, bloody workers, but as they buggered off waves got better n better, really glassy in between rip action, lots of smashings handed out but some real gold in between, even when the nxt shift arrived at about 9, bloody schoolies, still got plenty good ones off the rips, super shifty so good chance to snare a few as everyone would paddle to where the last good one was caught!!!!

hope it happens again tomorrow
