Voodoo 3-4 foot on the new freeflight single. Not perfect out there but still plenty coming through.

Please, PLEASE, a shift in direction. It's just a waste of time at the Bra.
Nope. No such luck. Drove south from me, small and kinda uninspiring. Drove to Stanny to find 4ft + closeouts.

Verrry south

Yesterday Bondi had some decent hollow lefts and interesting Bowly rippy rights near the Ramp and a pretty user friendly right up near the pav.
Smaller today but still got a few after paddling around to a few different banks.

Pretty weak swell though. Shapely but no oomph

Down the coast, the south coast of NSW, it was rubbish, again. No decent fcuking waves down here. I should move to Sawtell.

Jeez really? Was good up here, not amazing but plenty of clean waves. I personally was at a 70th in fcuking Berrima.

Really not into the southern highlands

LOL.

Well the Bukit is pumping today and there's a week of more swell and light offshores to come. Biggest day is Monday but I don't arrive until 6pm.

I might actually be fit enough to start surfing OK again, nearly the whole year has a write off for me.

5:30am. Ulus is well overhead, very light onshore but still glassy. Very low tide so there's a wave peeling off from the bommie thru to the peak. No one out.

If it was Cronulla it would be packed.

No. The wind went side-on, that and the solid swell pushing water down the coast meant non stop paddling for 2.5 hours just to stay in position with regular beat ups when the sets came.

The wind dropped by 1pm and it cleaned up but I was done and a when a big set beat the shit out of me and washed me into shore, I gave up.

Thanks for asking.
