Yeah looks a little smaller than yesterday to me. Looks like Sydney missed the best of it.

And very inconsistent. Looks almost flat between sets.

Good to see Crabmeat has his telescopic vision on Sydney.

Maybe he does actually live in Nicks backyard.

Pretty shit though that two competing surf forecast sites can be seeing things completely opposite.

same thing happens with weather models, swell models.

in terms of surf reports, hard to beat eyes on the beach.

how big yesterday?

Surfed that "secret" left near me.
Big enough for some waves to be breaking top to bottom, even on the high tide.
Good fun.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Had a few beers at the surf club last night and there was a bit of energy building. Nice small point wave with folk on it until dark

Hoax swell. High tide, lapping 2ft at dawn. As the tide has dropped there are a few more good looking sets, but of course I have the kids now.

3-4ft Max, but I’m sure somewhere is firing

Easy 4-5 with the odd bigger one. More 3 today with the odd bigger one.

Three to Four foot and rising here. That outer bar on the northern side that certain breakwall would be FIRING in these conditions .

What about headies? That’d be heaving

Heaving with bodies. The amount of vans/4wd/Passats driving around checking was off the charts. I checked my local and it was pumping on the lower tide, still had 30 on it.

Is this swell coming? Sounds pretty quiet out back of my joint. Dawn will tell
Dunno. Swellnet says it’s building, coastalwatch (Crabmeat) says it’s fading. Someone doesn’t have a clue.
Ok well it's def smaller than yesterday but there's a different little pulse been trying to fill in all morning, just occasional head high sets. Looking at that wind out off the bottom of the low, it just didn't really edge over 25 knots so what swell gets here will have that inconsistency and be kind of weak. I think it'll just burble along all day

v pretty but that's all it is.

Tama was supposed to be good this morning before the wind got up. Good luck trying to get a park though. Junior had to park up the top above the beach and walk down the long stairs with his board.

been good here again.

it's almost like the Gods have been smiling down on us since the WSL got kicked out of town.

so happy to get multiple days in a row on my 6'6" Desert storm.
