Where did you surf today ?

[steve shearer]

Thank the Lord the flatness is about to break, with a resounding Boom. Shearer you wanna hope it doesn't come too NE hey.

I'm seeing 2 scenarios based on the latest modelling.

1. Low forming in the Solomons triangle, tracking SW/SSW as it intensifies, possibly entering the Coral Sea down the inside passage (inside Grand Terre) before tracking parallel down the QLD coast. Result: 6-10ft of ENE to E full powered cyclone swell.

2. Low forming in the Vanautu area and tracking SW/WSW with a slowing and then slow fizzle out just to the S and E of Grand Terre. Result: super fun week of 3-5ft surf from the ENE/E with favourable winds.

What is the likely effect on the banks, Steve?

I have a new board being made for me now by Mick Pierce. You guys should check his instagram https://www.instagram.com/easternlight/ as he's an old-school hand-shaping, finish-coating & textured-decking master.

Love the look of mick pierces boards. They're enough to make me want to move to Victoria and buy a dozen

I know a place that likes both those scenarios

And that's just to the boat ramp

Swell is swell. Just give me anything right now and I'll be happy.

What is the likely effect on the banks, Steve?

First scenario: destruction.
Second probably a good influence.

[petulance]

Had a pleasant dawnie and late at the north end today. No dodging of blue tentacles.

there were some proper little dredgy ones on a WNW wind early. that little twin fin devoured the sections and turns big when you need it.

possibly my best surf of the summer, and i'm not sure how i feel about that?

Yeah, pretty sure that's all he's ever done. Unlike plugs, I've never known of one to pull off

Yes, iggs, the guy really does make quality surfboards

The Sydney surf situation is driving me bonkers.

I hope there is room for one more in BA and Brian's hunting posse.

I don't know if I'm happy for you or want to kill you. Maybe both. I'll hug you first then strangle you.

There's meant to be a little pulse late tomorrow. There's a possibility every surfer on the NB's will be on it. Things are gonna go postal. Giddy up.

You must have a special little sandbar up ur sleeve Braithy. It was a 0.5-1ft down here this morning and I body bashed Tugun in front of the airport and it wasn't much bigger.
