About six months ago I was chatting in the carpark to a guy who I had just surfed with...traveling up the coast from South Australia...he may have said grouse a dozen times in our half hour conversation. Really liked it actually

Anyone remember saying "choice", as a lad...try saying it now...bet you cant get it out...that one sure didnt stand the test of time

Six foot? Are you talking headhigh? Or double overhead? Cape Otway is meant to be DOH. But you're east of Wilsons Prom aren't you ? How's 14 seconds of SW groundswell making thru it out your way with 6 foot waves? You're talking headhigh aren't you.

[Beanpole]

Are you?
Are you?
Have you gone mad, man?
We need to know.

I just knew you'd bite to that.
Give yourself a pat on the back.

Mention wave size = beanpole guaranteed reply
Mention islam or $aving$ = Loofy guaranteed reply

[Beanpole]

Well, yes, unless I mention it then you will usually bite too. It's a synergy thing Hatchie.

[Hatchnam]

Well anything to keep things from getting boring.

Wanna see the leftovers from my goat curry ?

[Beanpole]

When I was in Beijing we stayed in a Hooton. Up the alleyway was a pile of little cafes. One did BBQ.........including Bbq Spinal Column. Yum yum.
When I worked out near Belmore the butcher shops used to have goats heads on display with the top sliced off so you could see the brains.

[black duck]

No. Fcuk that.

Got lucky over the weekend. Checked the surf on sunday about 1.30pm, 8 guys out. Decided to go out with a mate. After we paddled out 7 guys went in. 3 of us left out there with consistent 3 ft left runners, light onshore but smooth faces. We had it for nearly 2 hours just trading waves before the hoards hit it. Just as we got out, 6 guys were at the shore line about to hit it. 6 more in the carpark waxing up. Lucky break.

Felt like we'd won the $2 lottery.

Told you I travel a lot, what's the point in conversing with you if you don't listen, 6 foot sets again this morning, got no time to talk about imperial dick measurements.

[Beanpole]

More Eastern Suburbs waves. I've had a lot of surf this summer......more on the way.

[Skipper]

beany, that wasn't you out there yesterday on a longish softie with your son on the bank in front of the pav was it?

[Beanpole]

Skip my sons 18 years old. He can start paddling me into waves on a softie soon.
Had a day off paddling yesterday. Swell came up this morning.

Dissapointing waves at the bra considering swell and winds..

Dissapointing waves at the bra considering swell and winds..

disappointing, indeed. but are you surprised?

yes, it an east swell, with favourable NNW winds, which maroubra loves, as you know...

but much to the point, it's a 13 second period swell. for the most part, you can forget all about maroubra at anything over about a 10 second swell. same applies for nearly all beach breaks. 13 second swell periods on beach breaks = very long waits with very long/straight waves. maroubra would have single waves spanning 300-500 hundred metres wide at 13 seconds. no peak, just a ruler-edge straighty.

go
find
a fkn
reef break
or
point
if
it's
13 seconds



man.
