bummer. forecasts were saying southerly winds, so i guess it can be assumed many people didnt bother getting up to check the wind considering what even a touch of side/onshore does to perth beach waves.

checked out the line up and came across this

^^^^ It really pays off to learn how to read the synoptic charts. It was nearly guaranteed to be light offshore this morning even though the forecast was for S/SW winds.

Yeah, never got into the habit of doing so. I guess missing a good session due to forecast inaccuracy is enough of an incentive to get into it.

Maybe Laurie wanted uncrowded peaks to himself today. Wish I had his power, tweak the wind forecast a little bit & hey presto, Perth stays in bed while you score glassy peaks to yourself!

Errr Thanks for that one mate, got any 1st hand info. Like the banks were sic at Tea Rooms ect ect

Got a day off tomoz

Banks were dead straight Trigg/Scarb Saturday morning... [the not worth going in kind of straight] which surprised me given we've had a bit of shape over the last two weeks... Onshore Sunday so hopefully there's been a bit of sand movement...

Don't forget to post how you got on at the Tea Rooms tomorrow

Your welcome to drop in anytime newguy,come end of year we will have dotcom visiting as well

That may be it! East vs West coast mate. Looks like I'm gonna have to spend long hours on the log to take on the master over there

Gotta hand it to ya mate, that's why you've reached God status over there in the Beer Garden

Nice wave at the point this morning but pretty crowded. I saw one guy run over two lids on one wave that dropped in on him, one at the start and one half way down the line. Beaches were straight, anything with size was shutting down.

^^^^^ Torch, the frequency was 14 this morning and I could see swell on the horizon. I thought some of the offshore spots would have been good.

It would have been a **** trip into the easterly, at least you have dinner sorted.

Hit my local last night and had to try and share with way too many. When i hit the water there was over 50 plus more joined ( a two wave break)

I should have stayed out. Tried to teach guys to call a direction and gave up when you'd have three lidders calling straight in together[}:)] I don't understand were they come from sometimes.

Anyway stayed till almost pitch black and managed to scare a few off with shark talk. Problem though its very hard to read a key lock in darkness That and then a steady stream of mum and dads picking up kids caused a mini traffic jam.

Worst part was it was okay but party waves just don't work for me so was a great paddle

Bakesy mate, you have got it lucky down there! Today's menu was northerly's (could not remember west or east as I was just keen to get in the water). Light onshore made for spilling waves with some shape surprisingly so had some fun and even doing a little 360 although I don't know how I did it as I was just doing a bottom turn to begin with. Ahh the joys of being a novice

Weekend looking horrible though...

Had a small reef all to myself this morning. Except for the two Abb divers and it was surprisingly nice. About shoulder maybe a bit under but i have never surfed this spot so thought I'd just paddle around but ended up getting a few waves. Found a nice rock in the back on one such dismount

Very enjoyable
