Re: Summer 2013-'14

TC. Big, unsure where. If it forms New Cal then move away sou east. If further north landfall. Flippity floppity on the models but my tea leaves suggest scenario 1.

Re: Go Pros and Surfing

Angry old man seals that took offence to surfing his reef, horrible thing that would just harass you until you'd leave.

Fairy Penguin bit me on the toe at Susan Gilmore.

Was bumped by something, a shark I think low tide late arvo last summer. I don't surf the twilight session any more.

Re: Ask Carroll

The famed 28 day east swell was in 1975. 1 year after 1974 which was before the 2011- 2013 La Niña the last big La Niña event. 2014 is 1 year after 2013. Logically are we going to get a 28 day east swell this March?? Sadly I feel your logic does not hold. Weather patterns simply do not follow such ...

Swell not hit down here, was bigger yesterday. Albeit my 1st wave was a real pearler but the tide killed it.

How big was it your way Steve?

Are they? I'd say GFS and EC are still fairly apart for Saturday/Sunday forecast with respect to the positioning and deepening of the tropical low.
With respect more to not bank busteroony time I should've said. But looks good now.

Re: Summer 2013-'14

I idly whiled the short drive home today considering taking a bolt up there if I can time an RDO. Decided I would go all 'Boo and ride my 6'8 to try to beat the crowd. High five this old timer as well if I get there Steve.

The models are starting to come closer together :-)(

Re: Crowds.

I hate them, really fcking hate them. I have more than a touch of agrophobia though and it stresses me out if there are a lot of people out. I don't like any crowded place whether that's the surf or the land. Which them means I struggle in crowded conditions as I spend more time freaking out than co...

Re: Your Top 5 Favourite Surfers of All Time!

Tom Curren- beautiful to watch. Style in every turn. Occy- love the power and the unpredictability. Jordy Smith- an amazing surfer. Best style of the new generation for me and awesome to see in Jbay. Slater Luke Egan- I'm a goofy and thought he was always a wonderfully powerful and imaginative surfer.

It's damn hard work ATM. Back beach banks are all pretty crap so its a combination of dribble hitting bad banks times holiday crowds. :roll:
