RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Can't bring myself to watch it.

Noosa!
From gum trees through Johnnos into Little Cove.
Crowded as fuck but surprisingly easy to get waves to yourself Got out at 5.45am.
Surfed till 9am.
Good fun.

Many of you will remember otway1949.
He and his wife moved to Austria a few years ago. (Home for her).

River surfing is a big thing over there.

Trev! Have you got a hi res copy of that that you could send me? I’d like to do a canvas print of it to thank you for all the work you’ve been doing in the background.

Wow!

He does offer them around when required.

Cool.

Booties?
Is that for the savage coral reefs in the area?

Nope.
I've told you before why.
Not gonna repeat myself.
Buddy is on the case.

Trying hard in the slop.

The answer to that gets a bit complex Trev. The location, intensity and frequency of different types of storms are changing, probably due to climate change but the wave records aren't super long and there are a whole lot of factors (SAM, ENSO etc). Under climate change projections there are more TC...

That's all correct, Trev.

Yeah it all made sense to me.
Interesting comment about a trend towards easterly rather than soueasterly swell direction.
What's the go there?

Lots of sand at Noosa. Here's why.
Maybe.

Any input alakaboo?

So am I tbh.
4 days straight last week.

Roaring SE'er belting the comp site at Coolum.
Had great early morning surfs down my way the last two days.
Not at my regular point.

Chest zips are for kooks.

Back zips suck old fellas. Rare to see a back zip loitering around the beach these days.

I'll go back to wearing my old TRHS footy jersey before I'll buy a chest zip.
