Yeh, it's been good for at least a week or two, but I've been avoiding the crowd. Hopefully the bank stays good for a while more.

the banks at the other places are equally good so it's all good in the hood

Pity about having the slowest road workers in the country on the north coast, haha.

Byron bay council roadworks make Ballina council look like they are on ice.

Pulled up and decided I saw a lonely bank up the beach. Paddled out....pissed around for half an hour on crappy waves. This attracted others. Got out decided to paddle out where the real crowd was. Pissed around duck diving but got one really fun long ride. Water was nice.

Dunny bowl rights early morning. Waist to shoulder high. Really fun pockety walls with a peak breaking all the way through to the beach. Got a stack of waves, then it got packed out with grommets so I paddled in and let them to it.

Then a beach north of the gong, then a beach south of the gong (as pictured) for some fat but fun gliders - what little swell there is was really starting to back off late arvo. Certainly nothing epic but better than spending the day in an office

We just got back to Bangkok after five days in Phuket. Surfed every day on a rented board in shitty beachbreak with learners of all ages and nationalities and boards flying everywhere. My son went out a few times too. So stoked.

I remember seeing some lovely little long period waves on Mae Nam beach on Koh Samui. Didn't have a board, unfortunately. Just got pissed instead, if I remember right

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

I remember sitting on the beach at Koh Samui outside my thatched hut looking at the minute waves in 1982 and thinking I should go to Bali......which I then did.

I've never been so this might be woefully ignorant but I can't help thinking that Thailand is just Indonesia with no surf.

And it's only good for backpackers, middle aged sad sacks, pseudo-hippies spending all day rope walking or practising fire twirling before spaz dancing all night to really bad trance "music" and german/english sex tourists who'd settle for a ladyboy even if they couldn't admit it to themselves.

Is that too harsh?
