BOM is not that good at picking morning land breezes or lighter/variable winds. You need high res GFS for that and they use ACCESS G. Well, I have no problem working out what's likely from monitoring the BOM 3 day predictions and live reads from the nearby wind recordings My comment above related t...

Wind was supposed to be easterly up here. Straight offshore until about 10 am then very light onshore. Shortish period but good size for a club comp. Steve didn’t say it would be Easterly up there. “Lighter, more variable winds are expected in SEQLD. Plenty of fun sized E/NE swell to 3ft with the o...

That's pretty awesome. You can see where the cabal estate has increased the tidal prism and changed the location and angle of the ebb tide.

Yep. Over the last 5 years or so, the canals have pretty much doubled in size so the water flow is greatly increased.

For anyone who's familiar with the King's Beach, Happy Valley area and the northern outlet from Pumicestone Passage this shows the new Bribie Bar crossing.

Well yeah.

But isn't life all about probabilities?

Netting probably saves at least 50 lives a year in Australia. We've had it for so long that people forget the historic fatalities pre netting. And that was when the population was a fraction of what it is now and without the explosion in ocean usage with the advent of surfing. Meanwhile millions of...

Geez.
And we have a go at Beanpole.

Yep, except the coffee rock set-ups.

There used to be some nice coffee rock at North Kirra ... until they pumped all that sand around the corner.

Not to mention the reef way out off Kirra.

Yep. Hundreds of comments.
My only response was to the guys who said if the board slipped the fin would stop it sliding right through.
I suggested anyone who couldn't strap a board on firmly shouldn't be allowed to surf.

Wonder why she’s selling. https://i.imgur.com/1W5qoct.png https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/685477639707177/?mibextid=6ojiHh There's been a massive discussion on the Surfers over 70 FB page.

Those little YouTube videos are good. Saw the one on EPS vs PU. He reckoned one factor was that EPS Boards stop immediately when you stop paddling due to lightness.

So did he think that was a good thing or a bad thing?

Be a fucking small car won't fit a 7' board in it.
I can get a 9'6" in my Corolla. It also fitted I'm my i30.
I can actually get a 10 footer in sans fin.
