I thought we had it all figured out. The kilojoule doesn’t lie

Apparently it dont for doughnuts but do for measuring surf.

And here’s me believing you’re a forward thinker

Are we going from woe to go here? Flat to Eleventy foot?

Yep , we even got a spiel on Magic Seaweed.

big pushy S swell with a ton of wind and current here.

And Robbie Sherwell told all the Sunshine Coast surfers last night to head south over the border.

Kick him in the bollocks Trev.

I want to do that every time he tells everyone that Moffs will be good on the weekend.

I don’t care how big it is
I just want the kilojoules brah!

Had a grovel today. Bloody cold and windy.

Cronulla point at 4-6 foot. Low tide, tricky roll in and fast and sectiony with the south swell often running too wide across second reef. Got slapped fairly hard in the trough on a too-late too-deep take off, as the wave pinched off in front of me.

A bunch of blustery swell and peaks up greenhills. Looked easily 8 foot. But not a single ingredient to focus the swell energy, with the takeoff zone shifting all over the place.

You been hanging out with Simon?

No i tend to avoid south east Queensland as much as I can these days.

Nice little swell getting in to my local this arvo.
Got about 10 waves in a bit over an hour and got the hell out of there at 3, leaving it to all the schoolies and teacher.
Just about a dozen of us. By the time I drove away at 3.20, there were about 30 and more coming.
Hope for an early tomorrow.

would love a low tide bank right about now.

no shortage of them here but crowds are at Biblical proportions.

i get the feeling your situation is the result of my situation.

no banks here to speak of, everyone heads south.

A bank, a bank, my tiny suburban plot of over-priced land for a bank.
