Two sessions out the farm today 3-4 foot . Not so crowded for once but both frustrating surfs with no designated take off zones . Still got some good waves in amongst the crap with the morning being better wind wise .

Surprising it was as big as that.

Full of shit Channels, strong northerlies in December can drop it a fair bit.

For a day or 2 yes, then the warm water comes back.

Yep the old “shouldnt it be warmer coming from the north?” “no son, it’s from deeper water” I’m in some sort rubber to January. Water starts to get cold in August and stays cold till late Jan. More or less three months behind air temps. October to November I would start considering a Springy maybe....

My Xcel springie has the furry lining, easy to overheat in it.

Nah, generally steamer May to Aug. September to Oct/Nov is springsuit territory unless it’s a dawnie.

December to Apr is generally boardies and 1 mm vest for sun protection.

Super fun this morning. Chest to head high, not much crowd, north west winds steady with a bit of spring warmth in it. And my piece of shit wettie was handling the conditions fine for a change. I always have a problem buying a wettie at this time of year knowing it's about to go in the cupboard unti...

Yep. Let's look after the environment.

Let's also make our products out of petrochemicals, make them fragile so we have to replace them regularly in a unsustainable way.

Let's build wavepools in floodplains.

And so on.

Like the rest of the pollies, we're a pretty conflicted bunch.

Surf between the flags, Bro. Half the crew is on those things.

Not anymore, nothing with fins.

When did that change? That was the only good for reason for riding one.

Fcuk, this is winter!

Swell has jumped, north of 6 foot. South west wind, ice cold. Big peaks unloading everywhere. Pumping.

How good are east swells.

my god surely SOMEONE had a good surf today, this was a peerless fuschia day, solid 4-6' beachies throughout Sydney with clean winds, every beach has co op banks, and I had to watch the WHOLE THING. Tomorrow, I promise ya is going to be a repeat. Then Monday's gonna be 10-12'. This is what surfing ...

I guess it's technically a surfboard

Godsave wouldn't be the first surfer to over-compensate for a tight swell window.

Steve, what’s your take on Lakemba’s swell window?

I think BA is keen.

Today was fun as fcuk.

New banks everywhere, east swell to spread out the crowds. Sunny, offshore, Sydney winters are great!

Faaaaaark. How did it get that much board without killing him. Sooo lucky.
