Lol good point. I was looking at that cam the other day. It was school holidays. Barely 2ft and few and far between and packed.

Ha. You should see Noosa. 😖
Just had a look at the cam. Another superbank. Yuck.
It's actually surprisingly manageable most of the time. There's about 5 takeoff spots in that camera angle from the top of the resort.
And a lot of people just sitting around.

Chaos on public holidays though.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

He’s gonna need it. What a circus.

The Pass is more of a hassle than The Superbank if the crowds are comparable IMHO. Secondary and Tertiary Sections are nowhere near the quality of the Superbank through Rainbow into Greenmount.

Just had a surf at Bondi. Crowded but you could snare the odd one. Nice conditions. It helped that I had been surfing those banks the last couple of days when it looked a bit junky and there were no crowds.

Jeebus, as crowded as it's been in the last 6 months. The number of beginners that have managed to float their way out the back and bailing boards at the first sign of a set is crazy.

Add in hipsters riding logs leashless and it’s a dangerous mix.

Just had a great week at Point Plomer in the camper with the fam and a bit of a crew. Always a great time there.

It’s been unseasonably good and consistent here for a few days now and probs a couple more yet. 2 to 4 foot ish and offshore all day every day. Warm too, mid to high twenties.

Ended up surfing onshore point.
Not great but better than dealing with Byron.

I shoulda done that.

In my case there was a perverse curiosity at play as well.

Like, how bad could it be?

fcuking bad!

WoooHooo, yet another day of fun little waves and great conditions. Water temp is great.
Saw some hipster lose his log as I was walking down. Nearly took out three surfers paddling out.

But that can't be.
They're all so good they NEVER lose their boards

I know. I think it was the same guy last week who lost his board and two Euro Backpackers managed to grab it when it rolled into them swimming in the shorebreak. That could have ended badly if they weren’t looking.
