tried y'day. One wave kicked out through the back of it before it closed out and banged it when I landed.

I'll give it another week I think. They originally said 4-6 weeks, but after 2 weeks I should be able to put my weight on it and do most things that don't involve banging it again.

It'll be 3 weeks on saturday, and I only started putting my full weight on it about weds this week ... so i'm a little behind schedule.


I've checked the waves/ beachies around me every morning though ... there's been a few diamonds here and there in the mostly wobbly closeouts.

where you been surfing? there's a bit of a high tide bank up just up from you. a few lefts & rights on it.

oosh spewin

yeah surfed there last two mornings, some nice waves this morning. full of tea-baggers and pretty fast but there's a sweet peak in the exact same spot as 2013.

the 2013 spot, we'll call that.

nice. hopefully this solid/ pulsey NE swell doesn't level it all again. I should be good to go after that.

I'll look out for you.

At its peak, el nino never really got going at all this summer, did it?

I know it was talked about, prognosticated upon, speculated towards, but it was never really here, and now appears to have confirmed by its disappearance.

Apart from Braithy's mangoes, that is.

As I was walking on the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.............

^^^^
He wasn't there again today.

But his mangoes were.

the butterflies have gone crazy up here. Last time I can remember seeing this many was in about 1991. The mackerel fishing was off the hook and there was flooding in SEQ

We have moths. Lots of moths.

what sort of butterflies Boo?

blue water is in here but no pelagics yet.

too many plonkers on the rocks to have a decent go at it.

Hardly any pelagics up north either. Lots of sharks.lots.

Blue triangles, caper whites (I think) and shitloads of the generic yellow ones

We've got a lot of the Blue Triangles around the Northern Beaches. Never seen them here before.

The passionfruit vine is now covered in what I think are called blue tigers (still on butterflies, not acid)

We had a massive blue triangle population explosion just after Xmas.

Massive tiger shark cruising just offshore from Boring Bay. All hells going to break loose if mama tiger decides to taste some tourist flesh.

Well as you may have seen on TV Bondi has been shark central these Xmas Holidays.

i got fruit flies coming out of every available orifice in the kitchen
