How big on sunset Cranked?
Well overhead. No one was anywhere near enough outside to have ago at them. Don't know what's happening at the more exposed Ulus breaks.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Offshore dawn till dusk today. Mainly shoulder high, erratic sets every 30 minutes or so, uncrowded. Smaller than forecaste.

A few large sets catching everyone 50m inside around sunset.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Just read it... most excellent. Lots of info, I'll need to read it a few more times.

My taxi for airport is overdue... 60 days, no sharks! Not a single surfer death by sharks in Indonesia ever!

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Good longboarding in good waves is more aesthetic than some Pro flogging themselves to push their board into the most extreme position possible on a wave. Style is more important in longboarding comps. I think it was aerials that killed my interest in pro surfing... it made it look like an athletic...

@cranked whale carcass just near your preferred spot. I missed your post until now. Yeah, I was going to get ready and go out when a mate arrived and pointed out the whale carcase to me. There's been some deserted afternoon surfs on offer a bit lately so I'd been surfing with no-one or just a coupl...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Good forecast for surf today so I rocked up and it was looking good with the swell OK rising, the wind offshore and dropping, and no one out. Thats happened a few times in the last week so the lack of other surfers was not on my mind... until a mate arrived and pointed out the whale carcass about 50...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, with more than 50,000 miles of coastline. So why don’t its citizens know how to swim? Because its primary ethnic group never took to the seas. Though there are thousands of distinct cultural groups in Indonesia, the dominant one—both political...
