G'day all,

Anyone know what the banks and tides are like on the back beach this week? I've done a couple of early morning surfs mid week before work and the tides in metro area (between Trigg 2nd carpark and 3rds) have been super shallow... last weekend I saw a guy 'graze' the skin off his forehead after a nasty dump.

Two weekends ago I did the early run to Lano BB only to find it completely unsurfable - it was fin deep on the bank and despite a reported swell, it was barely waist high.

thanks

Dude Dec-Jan time Lano is fickled- especially back beach. As it moves into March it is much more reliable and consistent. If you fail back beach (and most times we drive straight past) and u got a 4B head up towards wedge way, few good breaks along the bombing range. But yeah this isn't the right time 4 Lano. Best off headin south if you are keen even to mandurah (even tims or Melrose) if u don't have heaps of time .

Mate if there is a bit of swell and the tide is up and the wind from the east back beach is the place if not kite untill your arms fall off.

There are heaps of reef breaks as well but back beach gets good on a high tide

.....Back Beach ?......Edward Island, Hole In The Wall, South Passage - nice left , back of Lancelin Island - good left when it's 6' and over, and my favourite - the right on the southern end of Lancelin island - on the right day with a medium offshore swell it's a fun right up to 3 - 4 foot with a great inside section.
Shag Rock just North of Eddies (as I call it - when it's big the rights break out far enough for a take off, but pull out before the inside reef otherwise your history - pretty narly but worth the challenge ), Bombing range ( 4WD ) , Bombies just South of Edward Island,
but I can't remember when all those breaks turned on since we were plagued with these constant every day Southerly winds.
..damn, there goes all my secrets.

^^^^surfs up.

I saw lots of board when I was there - just nothing to use them on...

Any other good breaks you would like to crowd out? [}:)]

[}:)]^^^ its ok folks- non of those breaks exist . Ur wasting ur time looking for any of those breaks .Where are you getting this info from Captain[}:)]. There aint any deacent waves around Lancelin - just big sharks that patrol after the cray boats [}:)]

...and guys that ride 250's and wear Gym boots
