South Coast Locals?

Post by Agro » Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:32 pm

I live in Cronulla and was considering heading down the south coast tomorrow morning, and was wondering if I should even bother? I've got a couple of 'swell magnet' spots in mind but dont know if they'll even be worthwhile.

I dont want names, as I know where Im going, just want to know if I'd be wasting my time.

PM me if your worried about informing the whole of Sydney.
A man goes to the zoo.
When he gets there, there was only a dog.
It was a shitzu.

i planned a trip south today, but swell bouy didn't look good when i checked it a 5. just went northern beaches.
i wish i did go south because
a)the surf today was better than i expected
b)some kook lost his mal getting over my wave and as i bailed back into the wave after it closed out, the fin from the mal sliced through my forearm and then sliced a 10 inch long slash in my bodyboard. It was my second wave of the day too. AND i got up at 5

So i sent that to the shop for repairing, and had to ride my bloody surfboard for the rest of the day :evil:

The Farm was pretty good today. Started out waist high and was head high by lunch. Not sure when the southerly is going to hit though.

I was paddling out and saw a guy on second wedge get nailed by a 4ft sideash connecting with a 6ft wave on dead low tide. The drop is difficult but extremely fun. Theres a spot nearby that has thick barrelss :)

It would have to get pretty packed out there nowadays wouldnt it? Mostly body boarders ? Is it still a dirt road in?

Saturday morning was good with 3 people out. But the rest of the weekend was a write off, hundreds of bluebottles and onshore winds, ended up surfing a reef.

Its a really crappy concrete road. Yea everytime theres a hint of good 2ft + swell everyone is on it.
