Re: Just general surfing stuff
there's tons of surf coming Trev.
I just feel the need to hose down Carroll's hype, more for my own mental stability.

I'm thinking about going up to Bangalow to visit my dear old Mum in the week of the 1st. If I was to nip down to the Pass once or twice, what sort of crowds might I expect?steve shearer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 2:09 pmanyhow, wow at the latest GFS run.

expect it too be wild, but easy to catch waves due to the overwhelming kookiness of the crowd.pinhead wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 6:39 pmI'm thinking about going up to Bangalow to visit my dear old Mum in the week of the 1st.

Unbelievably I went there with my son today and on the Australia Day long weekend with a headhigh trade swell running we surfed it with less than a dozen people.
we fukn gorged ourselves on 2-800m peeling rights in 27 degree Tahitian blue water.
back yourself on any kind of funky wind/slack wind morning.
I think a mid-high tide dropping is best for the bank.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
If you can take a short but reasonably voluminous twinny or quad (something fast anyway) you’ll do well.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
I got an Apple Watch for my birthday and have been getting my head around what I can get out of it whilst surfing. So I got the Surfline app and signed up to be a premium user so that Nick can afford more fine wine and surfboards.
I wouldn’t have surfed but thought I’d go to see what the watch did. It’s pretty cool.
The surf was absolute rubbish but when I got back to the car I got to watch all my waves. It’s hardly Nick at 8ft Sunset but I gotta say that I got a kick out of me surfing 1ft waves on my undersized MR.
My wave is around the 10 sec mark. I’m really keen to give the feature a go in some decent waves.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
mornings are better for crowds.
it's a euro type vibe for that.
less kooks early.
give me a Pm if you like and I'll give you a tailored forecast.
tailored to minimize crowds, maximise tidal phases.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Speaking of local forecasts Steve. Is it worthwhile heading your way tomorrow for a left that requires a barge?
Re: Just general surfing stuff
There’ll be waves but nothing to rave about.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
How’s the banks on that side mate?
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Had fun there last week but not sure what that solid sth swell did to it.

Yes please. If I can get the trip approved by the committee, I would much appreciate that.steve shearer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 8:19 pmmornings are better for crowds.

Brine brothers doing what brine brothers do, brings a tear to Loofy's eyes.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Speaking of which, what's the surf like around the end of March down your way offy?
Thinking of heading to the banks.
What sort of wettie will I need?
We were planning a ski trip but the quarantine requirements are pretty restrictive.
