Some biggish ones were getting through @ Toms, those guys were sitting way out the back, I havnt seen anyone do that for ages. Was messy tho

arto's showing an occasional bit of form, but pretty slow in between

got there at 7am no one out all looking and leaving

half a dozen out at the mo, oily glass very unsettled and murky ocean

would have expected more, 1.3m cott swell used to give good size
but i think its been recalibrated to exaggerate what little swell there is

also quite high tides

or maybe they should have put the artificial reef where some swell get's through !!!

Long period swell atm, it should be better than it is.

Got a few nice ones up the North end of town this arvo, peaks were a bit all over the place but wind dropped to nothing and it had a bit of size for a change.

contacios at sun up
best i've had there for a while (says nothing really)
but did get 2 from out the back literally onto the beach

some big (for scabs) ones now and again, meaty
not all time but not bad either
no back wash

I've heard awesome reports about trigg/scab's banks. Seems its all finaly happening there now. Mate of mine went to surf it this morning for an hour, 4 hours later he got out to go to work
Good, people might just leave the outer suburbs' beaches alone now!!&
I might be able to catch a wave without anyone else on it again for a while

You should've timed your op for summer, like I did. Goose.

Oh I thought you were one of those guys in the shoulder op thread (like me).

Looks great conditions for the next couple of days
Heading to Lano with the fam and plan an escape to a small beachie just North me thinks.........

Perth's favourite beachbreak today. I left it until the afternoon, doing a few jobs in the morning. I watched for about 45min, just not wanting to go out since the Devil Wind was in. In the end it was a toss of a coin decision, and I thought since I can't go out tomorrow I might as well. The thing that put me off was an almost total lack of banks, swell too big for the non-banks, and the only spot with a nice wedgey peak had a super-strong rip and the guys out there were struggling not to get swept out to sea and not really getting any. I know what it's like when it's like that out there, and the only reason for the wedge was the strong rip. Anyway, it was about 2', with an occasional 3' set. It was actually super fun, and I had a great time so I'm glad I went out. It's been a fair while since I was there, and it reminded me why it can be so fun. Made me realise how much I've taken reefs for granted, where you've got time to make sure your feet are in position, and the waves don't instantly close out.

So no surf for me tomorrow. Monday for sure. Rest of the week looking OK conditions but too small. I might get desperate enough to go anyway later in the week.

Just finished 2hrs at a less popular northern beachie... inconsistent, but very clean 3ft set waves - L & R off the south car park. Rip and weed was in today . Still got a few I was very happy with.

Yesterday was 3-4ft and occassional 5ft clean-up wave. Overall if you waited, it had much better shape and power... but lots of paddling [back out and to the horizon for the clean-up sets] No weed and no rip yesterday!!

Still out 2 more weeks, feck it looked good today!

any pics from surf trips up north last week, it must have been big?
much carnage?

so fun down here today, 3 ft glassy and barrelling. not many crew for my session either, 5 on the peak for 3 hours, 3 on it when i left, everyones up north i think.
