Hows your winter been thus far???

Been getting lucky/ not so lucky???

What would you rate this winter out of 10 and where have you been surfing.

I've been surfing in your backyard . I've had plenty of good days out there. Conditions have been good there in general. But I miss my local and I miss tubes, especially frosty early morning beachbreak tubes.

I rate the winter 1/10 for metro beachbreaks (almost 0/10 considering some places haven't worked at all). 6/10 for the places that have had banks, or reefs (lots of mild, sunny offshore days but not many bigger days).

its not surfing but the nexts best thing

South & north have had a very good season with constant offshores and swell. Not a regular this winter so cant rate.

Now perth metro is a entirely different story.

With only 3 decent fronts this winter, metro banks have been for the most part non existent (except for one or two generally reliable banks - but crowded). One of the worst metro winters I can remember - 2/10.

whats that thing they call the chicken loop for

Thought i`d wait till the official end of winter hoping to scrape up a extra pt or two before i gave a score, but it didn`t happen, so....i`d rate it 3.5, farcan dismal

Im lovin it so far - first time back in the water surfing after a 5-6 year break. Only made possible by the warm sunlight and booties!! Its been perfect for someone getting their confidence and surf fitness back up to scratch. Been lovin it as it is!!

I agree with most on the below average surf for perth.. 3/10- its enough to give up surfing all together in the area.. you give and give Perth so many chances over the years to get form and continually get let down but gutless surf with poor banks, 80% of the time..
Down south and out of town has had its epic days though, no one can argue with how super epic the surf was down south in those weeks in Autumn...

The best surf I had this year in Perth was at Cott main in July, 4m swell with 40knot SW squally winds & rain, 11pm at night with 2 mates after a few beers.. best head high wedgy ramps on your backhand running off the groyne I have seen there in a very long time..

I'm in Bali not bad ATM **** winter in Perth 3/10
