I was out there....wonder I didn't see you. I tend to undercall wave size......by my scale...wave faces. Can't comprehend how you could say it was that big by your scale. I often find the same problem with Coastalwatch.

You were out there? Probably up where it's much smaller, the kiddys corner end near Ben buckler or whatever it's called. Either that or you were surfing little reforms and going straight in the whitewash like a tard.

"My scale" doesn't exist. I use the common method that swellnet use, that coastalwatch use, that 90% of Australia's collective surfing community uses. And today, at Bondi (at least on the bank I was surfing) it was overhead. It was a 3-4 foot south swell (6-8 foot faces) at 8 seconds.

I'm done debating you on this. There's nothing to debate. But keep putting in the great work. As anyone who previously doubted your levels of mongoloidism are now being delivered undeniable proof

:D Oh so those were 6-8ft faces?
Look I would call it 5ft in the sets....that's 5 foot faces max....in the sets.....once in a while.
That's on the bank at the Skate Ramp.

Who cares what you call it. Your brain is shrivelled up like a parrots tongue.

Of course.....just makes me realise I will have to significantly downgrade your calls re: wave size.

4foot = overhead in swellnet speak. 4foot = overhead in coastalwatch speak. 4foot = overhead in 90% of the Australian collective surfing community speak.

If you're calling 5ft (faces) then you've only been g@ying about in the little reforms (as shown).

Now go turn your computer off

I've been sceptical about Coastalwatch and Swellnet calls for ages........I appreciate your faith. I'm talking about the sets. I wouldn't be taking off on most of those close outs anyway...that doesn't meaning I'm not looking at them...but you have said Bondi doesn't hold that size for ages as well. Anyhow glad you got one that didn't close out. Good on you.

Looked about 4-5ft at nth wall this evening. Semi-clean on the faces. Here's hoping for the early.

Talk metric or go back to Trumpland. Its not '4ft' its 1.3m (or 2.6m if using other scale). I surf it on my 2.1m board so I am pretty good at judging how high it is.

Surf was 32 hands, or 2 thoroughbreds.

The Iggy Scale would almost work if you converted feet to metres......as long as you don't over call of course.
