Swellnet editorial is really sucking harder than Desiree Washington.

... now they cut and paste editorial from other websites because they're void of their own ideas and analysis?

The banks everywhere within 100kms of my place needs some serious bank busting.

Thursday looking decent for NSW, fair bit of east in it.

Well I assume you scored that over the last few days Steve, without any bank busting swell!!!

yeah, there was some nice point surf about. I would have liked it to get to that next level of size but oh well.

How did you go?

Just managed to find its way into my local yesterday morning. Small but good shape and just a hint of the power south of the border.
Gone today, though.

yeah baby.

I remember surfing it so, so good and haven't seen it like that since.

it's undersized gurgly junk and surprisingly crowded for what it is.

Jesus everybody go to Indonesia IMMEDIATELY.

surely this is the shittest May of the century

last May was flaccid. 2007 May was limp.
Both followed by insane Junes.

I'm enjoying the small surf. Loving my small wave boards.

up here it's been super fun. 4ft and under for the month means if you want a wave, you don't have to bother with the points. Peaks and beachies everywhere.

Monday was one of the best beachie days in the last decade. Offshore, mad banks and 3-4ft the whole day.

yeah no shit. The 3-4 months of relentless north winds from sept to jan and micro swell was what got me on a sup in the 1st place. I hadta do something to stay fit and be near or in the ocean.

then I found this race training crew over my back fence and got proper hooked.

Strange you didn't get good waves today it was really good up here, 3 foot maybe 4 on some sets and sucky on low tide.
The offshore was strong this morning, I went to get up on one and my leg rope was wrapped around both feet. I pulled back and pushed the board over the falls and the wind picked it up and wacked me in the head.
Big crush on the rail with a lot of my hair sticking out of it. >><< Dropped it off at ding repairer, and of course swell on the way up this weekend.

Feck me what a fecking weekend. Took my sons camping for the first time this weekend and scored some amazing conditions and waves in the 3-4ft+ class and offshore winds!!! Absolutely shattered now after unpacking everything and cleaning up. My boys had a ball camping too.

But I do have to admit this May has been very hit and miss. When its been good it's been great but its also had some fecking long average spells too.
