Yes but today's was going to be the rarest of the rare - a non-storm associated groundswell. Typically a once or twice a year event. The next one is a typical cold front with strong winds and onshores, a dime a dozen. I'd like to think it got scared off when smicko gave everyone the heads up. Doesn't matter to him, he's off to Bali.
I remember scoring in similar conditions around this time of year last year...un-bloody-believable.
Went down for a grovel and had one of the best sessions ever, the shapes of the waves were like nothing I had seen before.
Seabreeze did not pick it last year, gotta read between the lines a bit.
I am keeping an eye on a few factors but gonna go for a wave in any case.
If you are half a chance of scoring, pack the bus and hit the road!
Brrr,
Certainly was dropping after sunrise...
A million desperados and aggro barnacle bills out where I was, wanting to burn everything in sight..
Not too many of the usual local friendlies, unfortunately.
yeah that wind was like ice a couple of fair to average ones coming through after a bit of a wait worth a paddle
I scored. Pulled up at 9 and it looked a bit so so watched it for ten minutes and a nice set came through and then it just turned on. Pumping little bazzas up to a bit overhead with some absolute canings handed out. Six of us out, big schools of mullet getting belted by little schoolies. Often when paddling back out you'd get a school of mullet trying to hide under you. Don't think I've ever seen six blokes sitting so close together in the lineup. Farking awesome morning!!
Getting there jb go for a surf pack myself full of the old anti-imflames to get through the next few days do it again next week
Coupla pics from the other day, gotta admit I thought it was gonna be more 4-6' than the 2-4' it was and there was a hell of a lot of driving involved for under three hours in the drink but then again I've still got that tunnel vision locked in the memory banks.

Sounds like I may have been at the same spot - I was also surprised by the lack of crew - but that breeze was cold!
I thought it got better after 10:00am - although a bit smaller, they seemed to hold up better and the rides were longer... weed is a pisser though...
I thought I'd give the toe a try with booties and had a ball. Two others only and a enjoyable afternoon dip. Probably was not such a good idea now though
