Stonefish are getting a couple of victims a day up here lately.

Pretty nasty but this was a bit further north at another rock break usually really crowded but it wasn't.. Maxed out around 20 at the worst. Manageable at that number. My point has been busy bus because it's spread out also manageable. Happy Valley however 🤬 I drove by The Alley last Tuesday. Fuck w...

I am totally wasted.
3½ hour session this morning from 4.45 am.

Sleep now.

Think he took this a couple of days before they left Toronto. I’m assuming it’s a web cam.

My son and his family are there right now. Well, Blackcomb.

Says the day before they arrived was 2.5 hours wait. After a massive snow dump the night before.
Since he's been there, nearly a week, there's virtually no waiting.

Been out of the water for two weeks. 13 stitches in my back. Low grade melanoma. Came out yesterday so 2½ hours from first light today. Fuck I missed it. Think I'm addicted to surfing. Also, probably belongs in the Growing Old thread, some inflammation in my knee apparently due to osteoarthritis. Od...

BOM is not that good at picking morning land breezes or lighter/variable winds. You need high res GFS for that and they use ACCESS G. Well, I have no problem working out what's likely from monitoring the BOM 3 day predictions and live reads from the nearby wind recordings My comment above related t...

Wind was supposed to be easterly up here. Straight offshore until about 10 am then very light onshore. Shortish period but good size for a club comp. Steve didn’t say it would be Easterly up there. “Lighter, more variable winds are expected in SEQLD. Plenty of fun sized E/NE swell to 3ft with the o...

That's pretty awesome. You can see where the cabal estate has increased the tidal prism and changed the location and angle of the ebb tide.

Yep. Over the last 5 years or so, the canals have pretty much doubled in size so the water flow is greatly increased.

For anyone who's familiar with the King's Beach, Happy Valley area and the northern outlet from Pumicestone Passage this shows the new Bribie Bar crossing.

Well yeah.

But isn't life all about probabilities?

Netting probably saves at least 50 lives a year in Australia. We've had it for so long that people forget the historic fatalities pre netting. And that was when the population was a fraction of what it is now and without the explosion in ocean usage with the advent of surfing. Meanwhile millions of...

Geez.
And we have a go at Beanpole.

Yep, except the coffee rock set-ups.

There used to be some nice coffee rock at North Kirra ... until they pumped all that sand around the corner.

Not to mention the reef way out off Kirra.
