Can't help myself.
Calling any object which is double overhead, 4-6ft is just fucking ludicrous.
Regardless of how many people and "authorities" do it.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Three days. Three sessions. Three different spots. And none of them my local point. Maybe tomorrow. 😀 7 hours plus. All three days were supposed to be onshore.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Pretty nasty but this was a bit further north at another rock break usually really crowded but it wasn't.. Maxed out around 20 at the worst. Manageable at that number. My point has been busy bus because it's spread out also manageable. Happy Valley however 🤬 I drove by The Alley last Tuesday. Fuck w...

Re: General snow stuff
My son and his family are there right now. Well, Blackcomb.
Says the day before they arrived was 2.5 hours wait. After a massive snow dump the night before.
Since he's been there, nearly a week, there's virtually no waiting.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Been out of the water for two weeks. 13 stitches in my back. Low grade melanoma. Came out yesterday so 2½ hours from first light today. Fuck I missed it. Think I'm addicted to surfing. Also, probably belongs in the Growing Old thread, some inflammation in my knee apparently due to osteoarthritis. Od...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
BOM is not that good at picking morning land breezes or lighter/variable winds. You need high res GFS for that and they use ACCESS G. Well, I have no problem working out what's likely from monitoring the BOM 3 day predictions and live reads from the nearby wind recordings My comment above related t...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Wind was supposed to be easterly up here. Straight offshore until about 10 am then very light onshore. Shortish period but good size for a club comp. Steve didn’t say it would be Easterly up there. “Lighter, more variable winds are expected in SEQLD. Plenty of fun sized E/NE swell to 3ft with the o...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Yep. Over the last 5 years or so, the canals have pretty much doubled in size so the water flow is greatly increased.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Netting probably saves at least 50 lives a year in Australia. We've had it for so long that people forget the historic fatalities pre netting. And that was when the population was a fraction of what it is now and without the explosion in ocean usage with the advent of surfing. Meanwhile millions of...
