Hi all mexicans

Im in melbourne for a coupla days and have a window to visit the torquay area. - Wed or Thurs most likely

A bit of advce if you please

Places to hire board and GOOD WARM WETSUIT in torquay

Whats the forecast looking like and ideas of where to surf - fun wave prefered for one day effort ease of getting to etc

thanks for your help .....I think.....(if its anything like the help 62mac got from fellow West Ozzians)........ in advance

Nah but I'm not taking my board or wettie so would need to hire from somewhere.

Also will need to hire car etc etc just a day trip-Torquay seems easier but I am open to suggestions

There wont be much swell wed/thur go to phillipe island woolamai has tons of banks, I have never seen a beach like it, will always have a bank, last time I surfed there I counted 20 banks in 2km 90min from Melbourne.

Or Gunnamatta is on the morington peninsular 60min east coast of melbourne, Ive been told gunnamatta has good banks at the moment.

Both these places are class beachies and no secret and they pick up swell, it is likely to be flat in and around torquay.

Water temp. has dropped a bit, but still way above normal, you are lucking out on the weather by the looks of things.

If you are coming down the Mornington Peninsula, you can hire a board/wettie from Trigger Brothers in Point Leo I think. They will probably help you find a wave in the area on the day as well.

Thanks for the advise, full circle only have a 6'8 funboard as closest thing to shorty and wetties are all 3/2 flatlock...brrrrrr

I will pack my own wettie for just in case and if its real good will give it a go.......even buy a second hand pig

I was there a couple of years ago in April and there was a shop across the road from the beach where I hired a board, pretty cheap fro mmemory - took my own wetty and hired an 8ft mini mal (was sure there were shorter ones there as well ) - did the job nicely and you dont have to worry about dinging those boards.

Waves were about chest to head high - handled it well. That one day I surfed the left hand side of the bay, the beachy in the middle and then the right hander on the other side - awesome!

Window got shut

Spewin coz reports in herald sun have been makin me mad-both phillip is and gunna been good apparently

Dam dancing damn it to hell

On a positive my daughters team are the national champs-love her and her achievement but jeeeeeeeezus its boring and long winded and .....
