Went out at the regular reefbreak today.

The swell was a very slow and lazy 2 ft, got a few in a quick hour just waiting for the sets.

Not much else on the horizon here as the Indian Ocean settles down a bit it seems.

The days of a quick surf before work will soon become a distant memory I fear as spring looks to assert itself :(

At least there's a brief late season Bali trip very soon :P

Sunday

Went to Gunnamatta, wind ws forecast to be light from the NE, swell around 3 to 5 foot and tide on the rise from 0630.

Conditions were glassy when I got there but the swell/banks weren't great. Anything over 5 foot and it closed out and it was rare to get one that had a decent face.

Pretty frustrating surf really, found it really hard to pick them and as a result only got a couple. Last one made up for it though, managed to keep my footing on a pretty steep drop on a 5 foot wave and got a nice ride.

Got smashed a couple of times on some bomb sets as well which made it all a bit more fun.

Went back to a spot I found is working for this predominately south window. Found it last wens after an atrocious day the day before - part of which included going down to bronte and watching for 15 minutes and every wave I saw break had someone on it and 1/2 of them had a another passenger, nice bank but the 100 or so on it doesn't work for me so I went home dejected and it only got worse from there. Last wens I didn't get out'a barrel but racked up plenty of tube time, including a fine standing only green room.

Today there wasn't anyone else out when I paddled out, so finding the take off was a guess as a set turned up just as I did, so I headed to the same spot as last wens just a bit further out. That turned out to be a good guess as a wave started jacking on the slab, but it's one of those hey I'm not ready yet points, the first let alone second wind hadn't kicked in, I hadn't done my wax the feet thing ( you know stand on your board and wiggle em about) and I didn't feel warmed up enough, so I felt a bit out'a sorts but took it any way. I didn't have much to think about on the wave, skidded down the slabbing take off set the rail, point, stand up tall as it through, do a little bit of a pump about 30-40 m later to setup for the exit which just clipped my rear hand (left - as it should be) and made it out to the flats with a giggle and a hoop :| :) :D :lol:

The next wave I was still un-prepared and my front foot slipped as I was setting up for the barrel ending with a bit more damage to my hip from the unexpected splits. The one after that was a bit to steep, the one after that I was to late on and then the crowd started to show and the waves started to slow with the high tide. About 1.5 hours later I got out on a nice wave, which was commented on in the car park - but I was still thinking about that first wave, which I'm thinking has to be barrel of the year - uh no it's not, I got a dry stand up back hand, back door at superbank mach something

sweet dreams tonight
If it's well engineered it's beautiful .

Hope you got some DonW. I did and it looked like it might be happening up the beaches abit as well.
Also had a ride on my mate's G&S 8 footer. Now this is a big jump for me (normally 9'+)
Got a few good waves. Bit of fun. 8)
Looking good for the next couple of days but I shouldn't have said that, should I? :twisted:

Yeah I did thanks Trev. Was perfect early on. Clean and some really fun peaks with some nice power for their size. Wind got up around 7ish and with the big incoming tide she started to drown a bit.

Not sure if you'll get much tomoz with the devil wind forecast. Thursday looks better for you.

And I wont mention beyond that :shock:

Still waves about today.
A bit smaller and less consistent than yesterday but better than Monday.
The dreaded NE wind held off.
It was nicely SW overnight - after several hours of dead calm.
Still offshore when I came in at 7am.
A very fun morning, especially as it was unexpected. 8)
While I was drying off (me, not my board :roll: ), I watched a guy take off out the back on a good long wall which reformed twice into long hollow sections and he finally stepped off in knee deep water right in front of the steps. Told him he was banned for the next week. He reckoned it was worth it. :lol:

Actually, I mislead Don in a text. Said 2' max. but in fact there were a few 3' sets. I was just never in the right spot. The smaller ones seemed to line up longer as usual.
