10 Guys out. Head high waves. 30knts. Heaps of bottom and top turns. What an unreal place. Friday was heaps of fun there too and only an extra 15 mins drive from Dutchies. Well worth the extra drive
One happy chappy sharing the stoke.

You must being of very careful for sailing here.. many rocks lying in wait for ripping of fins and great chucks of epoxy and foam from your boards.
Unless you wanting to be of losing many fin and smashing many board you should be giving of this place a very wide berth.
Locals very unfriendly also... you stay away for certain yar ok ?

Mettems is spelt with an e not an a?
I sailed Metts for 2 years and wondered why I wasted all my time there?
But I dont regret the friends I made and the things I learnt
I use to think Mettems was the best place until Juice showed me other wise.
But now I know of a better place than Juice's prefered spot

Mettams is spelt with an 'a'.

It's a great place for wasting fins. My record was two in one day.

I not at liberty for saying too muchly but there might being Kremlin KGB Safe House near by... maybe there is more liking of 2.... one with water views of Mettams...

As Comrade Leech pointing out

As for rocks... they very bad.... you must be staying away from there for certain comrades unless you have many big supply of fins and spare boards after smashing of the rails and bottom onto rocks while try ride wave close to key hole

last time I sailed there I smashed my toe on a rock under the sand walking down. Taped it up. First wave, and first bottom turn for the day I was committed into it and saw that I'd stupidly lined up the n-h perfectly. Bang. Byebye fin... Then the wind dropped by the time I got another fin in.

So is that why you stuck to the speed thing? No good in the waves? When was the last time you wave sailed?

Havent had a wave for a couple of seasons. Two below-average summers for strong wind has conspired to keep me busily committed to design and testing of speed stuff. Every windy day has been gold...

I'll get into it again. No wave sails at the mo, and boards are in pieces. That will all be fixed soon. (I said that last year)

Not complaining tho. I've had adrenaline on tap with my speed toys.

Ok the next day was crap ! Metts only goes off when it's over 1.5m sorry forgot to mention that. Need to keep an eye out on the swell forecast, but even so is heaps better than Dutchies.
Looks like a few people like it soooo much they are trying to scare off others.
Yes there are a couple of rocks just like at Dutchies I've clipped my fin a couple of times and the locals are very friendly, only met one with attitude, but a firm word pulled him into line, your gonna get the occasional knob anywhere.
Where is it... about 2km north of Trigg
If swell and wind are up it's an unreal place often overlooked. Ignore all the scare tactics just selfish people being greedy.
