RealSurf Surfers' Forum

2-3ft surf barely gets my pulse rate above comatose. I'd rather rockfish mostly when it's small.

I want some fcuking proper surf and winter is when we should be getting it.

N.Wall hasn't had decent banks for a year or more. It was about 70% of the way back when this last swell hit. From the S so Ballina copped the brunt of it.

S.Wall bits and pieces but generally speaking tidak bagus.

Looks like I might have to start driving further afield to surf.

Can't put up with another winter with no banks.




So what time is the post coffee debrief at Braithy?

Very poorly. Minus a mechanical sand transport bypass system it's a 3-6month turnaround after a storm surf bashing. We were about 2/3 there after successive events late Jan/Feb. This one has just about cleaned out the cupboard again. over it. This is the June 2012 Fiji deep groundswell/ECL combo tha...

that was awesome.

thanks to Boos brilliant advice I was able to reuse some old components and get working leggie.

these sand bottom points are killing me.

yesterday was really fun.

today, too stormy. I think the speed with which that low is heading E will save the banks from too much of a pounding.

Not that the banks are anything that grand to be saving.

we're all nervous Braithy.

but Beef Week is on if the bank gets washed away....pick me up on the way through

That was the first one I got. The first of two.

slaloming through that pack took most of the wave.

pretty damm nice thanks.

fast rising swell with strong offshores.

No rain here, mod SW winds, rising SE swell.

I think we were just far enough north to escape the storm and get the swell

yep, that shame spiral only ends when the body slams into the ground at terminal velocity.

Expect constant 20-30knot SE tradewinds in July.

just saying so you aren't disappointed.

Nothing too radical Oddap. Just looks like a slightly better positioned fetch and wind orientation within that fetch for this part of the world. And the low moves away quite quickly with the possibility of a morning land breeze when the swell is still on. It won't be all time but it doesn't look lik...

But I've always wondered why aren't surf mags (or at least one surf mag) more like golf or fishing mags. Pick up a golf magazine and it will have a few interviews with pros and up and comers, maybe someone behind the scenes, sort of similar to surfing mags. But then, and this is the big difference,...

I was ready to quit RS yesterday but the beauty of this thread will keep me here for longer.

well played gents.

I'm getting a little more quietly excited by this ECL now.
