Where did you surf today ?

[shaunmorrison]

Coal coast reef at a little overhead on the sets. Plenty of teeth for its size. Wind is all over it now.

That would be 2 to 4 ft?

[Hatchnam]

3-4 ft. Head high to a little overhead.

[shaunmorrison]

You take your weights and measurements quite seriously.

[el rancho]

Angourie on this punchy NE 14 second swell. Pretty fast with that direction. Dunno, head high to nearly double overhead, swell was building this arvo but the onshore was too.

I brought my Jesus hair and best bullshit smile.

Not really. But beanpole loves a wave height discussion

I hope you took what's rightfully yours. Meaning set waves from the locals.

[el rancho]

Angourie locals are the real deal, nice blokes but they rip.

Did you see woolly?

[Hatchnam]

Or Baddy ?

[el rancho]

Nah only a handful of guys out. There was an old boy rocking off from the northern platform as I was leaving that could've been baddy.

Any good barrels or beltings going down at angas?

I got a good solid belting on a shifty set wave. Ended up a shave too deep paddling in and got suspended in the lip momentarily then it let go and launched me full cartwheel over the falls right into the impact zone. Didn't hit the reef but got my wetsuit top pulled up and over my head, tangled up amongst it and almost lost my watch. I got rinsed good and proper.

Only other barrel attempt resulted in just getting swallowed up in a gurgling ball of mush and standing gorilla style exiting into the flats.

The boogers managed to jag a couple of pits here and there. It was kinda tricky. One wave sets, shifty. Steep and bowly with lots of shape for carves and turns though.

[el rancho]

Nah wasn't barrelling with the light onshore, saw maybe a foamball ride on the inside section but otherwise just shifty big sets. The swell angle made for really fast steep bowling waves, most of the biggest sets sort of just closed out across the bay. I was hoping the southerly change came through while I was out there but the opposite happened, sun came out and the NE wind really kicked up.
I took a deep one and had to straighten out so just cannonballed under water and just scraped the reef.

Good building swell too, sets where each wave gets bigger so everyone scratching for the horizon.
The back beach at Yamba would've been double overhead plus but too straight mostly, the crew out were trying to jag inside reforms.

[Beanpole]

Manly.....very ordinary. Bower looked okay but small and crowded. Mega Nipper Carnival on.

[chrisb]

Does Nat Young still live and surf at Angourie? .............or was the beatdown embarrassment too much for him?

[Davros]

DY 3-5. Bit shifty

[Beanpole]

Bondi as stated elsewhere....should have surfed there yesterday too.

[black duck]

South coast is mixed up and weird. 2 swells in the water with one lapping over the other. Makes for a confused line up with fat ones and double pitching ones. Weird swell down here.
Saw a couple of pics of Lennox from today that looked off its face.

[Beanpole]

Lots of blues about this morning. Junior copped a particularly bad sting. Knocked him around. I got about three.
