North Curl Curl. Waist to chest high and super consistent. Surfed the 7’6 and must’ve bagged over 40 waves. Really fun bank. First section looked like it’d shutdown but would fill in so you could float over it and thread down the line into cutback and go left for a few metres until the right reformed and bowled all the way through to the sand.

Very average Bondi. Got more crowded......then I got involved in a discussion about the Footie. You know you're fcuked once you start talking in the water. Lose concentration. Other person usually positions themselves so they have a better view of the sets than you do. Time to go in. Banks are pretty crap at the moment.

Yeah...probably. Glad to be getting in the water.
So would you say anyone else got any waves while you were out at Curly?

Everyone got waves. It was only a 6 second period swell. Wave after wave after wave.

Really? What time? I looked at it at around 8 and it was really small. Mega crowded too.

Surf it from 10-12. And again from 4-5. Slightly bigger now but sectiony. Shortboard would’ve been a struggle

Same as BA, checked at dawn though, didn’t appear rideable. Guess it came up a bit.

Uh oh, other people actually checking the spot Hatchie was surfing. Wave size assessment needed.

Chest high sets. Constant waist high. It was weak swell. You needed the right board. Not a shorty

Last few days it's just needed to be a half foot bigger to be small n fun, but just hasn't quite got there. Been taking the Mrs. GSI minimal and my jd in the car. Beautiful early conditions though.

Saw a break working today that I haven't seen working like that since about 2009.

Way, way too sharky to paddle out.
Plus a long long way from an ER.

didn't surf today, n/e smashed it pretty early and the crowds were majestic before the wind crashed the party. Did see a solid 6ft freak set close out the whole north end of the beach though, which was a bit of a surprise. Didn't surf the day before either, tiny onshore slop. The day before that i surfed a crowded but clean 2-3 foot beachy, left over ground swell from thursday. 4 fat ones that did nothing then the wind came up and generally smashed it.

I think this whole winter/spring i've surfed maybe 10 good waves, if that. Sth coast where i hang out has been very hit and miss, a few mid week swells but not much else and the banks have been reasonably appalling.

How do you do that? I like the sound of it.
