Friends in Kuta asked for a surf report. After a quick check here's what I sent:
Perfect conditions, 40 out, everyone sitting waiting for head high waves. Nearly double overhead set arrived, western break guys were caught about 30m inside, eastern guys about 60m

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Just starting to get back some form on my 7' and 7'6 after riding an 8'6 around Perth. A couple of waves every fortnight is a disaster skill wise.
I certainly wasn't trying to take one of the double overhead ones though. They did clear the water, there was only three of us out for a while.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Ulus is a bit of a mess. Head and a half size swell, 20 out at racetrack, only 1 or 2 chancing the other breaks. Only head high where I surfed but two 8 wave sets at near double that at about 9:30am cleared the water for a while. Water quality? Who knows, it always looks OK except when it rains heav...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Too variable as is wave height, kJ will be the same whether it's open ocean, or near shore when the wave starts to react to the changing depth.
A lot of the high energy waves go around the southern seas with a wave height of a couple of feet and a wave length of a around a hundred metres

Using linear measures to indicate the power of a wave is like using litres to measure the power of a motor vehicle.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
That was a most excellent find MM.
By the by humans aren't prey for great whites, they are too boney (cause bad digestion ppoblems) and have stuff all fat compared to whales and seals.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
When did they stop pumping? The shark management program (SMP) commenced in 1937 and there was a marked reduction in shark attacks soon after. Anyway, anyone who wants to know the SMP needs to read this despite its length and complexity: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/p...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Double overhead sets coming through at Ulus. Offshore and glassy, moving into high tide. Bommy is breaking, one guy out. A couple at outside peak and outside corner. Swell supposed to be filling in all day and the wind stays offshore. A dozen out at Padang, good barrels, no need to tuck in. Too big ...

lol based off what? 50 people saved per year from shark attacks in oz based on 90% probability it's crazy talk, tbh "The Australian Shark-Incident Database has recorded that between 1791 and April 2018 there were 237 fatal shark attacks in Australia. In the two years of 2020 and 2021 there were 11 ...

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 ...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Although Florida has the largest quantity of attacks in the world, Australian shark attacks, by comparison, are much more severe. Nowhere else comes close. New South Wales has recorded a whopping 93 fatalities since the year 1900, though the rate of attacks there has decreased since the turn of the ...
