Windytown yesterday




Did you see a few windsurfers out there on Saturday?


Had club round sat morning pretty windy by surfable.

around 1130-1 some dude on a kite board came around the corner and proceeded to throw down like a madman.

I don't know kiteboarder moves but this dude did a mctwist off the lip flew and landed in the foam to floater than backflip and kept going, no windsurfers but I heard they had a comp down Margie's end

No comp at Mains just got a few international team riders in town tearing it up.
Me and 3 mates hit it late arvo and got some bombs much to the disappointment of the loser crew sitting out there in 25 knots of howling winds waiting for nothing. Give it up boys Hahaha.

I made a late and desperate call to do the drive to LBB with the mal... arriving at 9:45am. Was about waist high MAX, but the wind was pushing 25kt from the SSE and destroying it on a very low tide. Waste of time; should have gone snorkelling at Mettams

Had a long chat with Huey yesterday.
Had a surf in the onshore and it was terrible but the first time I moved on a board in about a week.....

Current list of complaints

1) After an epic winter this summer has been lacklustre at best.
2) Whilst the point has been breaking knee height with 50 people out does not count.
3) The constant southerlies have limited offshore options resulting in several starts for one offshore surf in last month ( this includes Rottnest where to be honest it's southerly out there most days at current)
4) It is clear others feel this way as trigg point today is ankle to knee and their are 50 frothers out there.......
5) In the last three to five years the crowds on the waves just out of town have quadrupled and there is now at least five times the population from mindarie to Yanchep from what I ever remember.
6) It has been southerly for a couple months ( this is deliberately mentioned twice)
7) Whilst summer is a no swell affair in Perth it's a bit rich to have 20-30 knot southerlies every day and the surf stays below 1-1.5 metres.

During discussions with Huey he has stated that March looks promising and that February is nearly over.

I told him this is a little hard to swallow at current and he has requested a two week grace period, after this grace period there will be waves for around a week and a bit commencing on or around the 4th of March.

A little swell will arrive next week but it is likely this is a hoax

Huh,

There's waves again. Small but fun looking.

Thanks Huey
two really good fun surf on Saturday and Today, better than expected, little waves on the new $75 Rebel Sport Tahwali foamie.
today would actually have been worth riding my Perko Potato.
what a magnificent Perth day down on the coast......mission North could've been on....down south would be cooking

check the Gold Coast cams.....pumping

Got up for the early local. Tiny, but the water was sensational, the crowd was elsewhere and I just had a paddle session and a couple of tiny ones. Must say I dominated that peak. No-one else got a wave....

I was surprised how cold the water was at Rotto last week snorkelling. The surf was flat, although there were a handful of guys out near Salmon Bay getting 10m rides over shallow reef

Mostly West (Salmon Bay) and North (City of York, Little Parakeet Bay, and The Basin). South side was on shore even at 8:00am.
