No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

What surfer doesn't care about the weather? Who hasn't predicted the arrival of a new swell? Do all of it here!

I saw an actual offshore wind today. Had witnesses and everything that can back me up.

Elaborate on your question and I'd be happy to.

South swells don't get in there. Like, at all.

Saying a forecast like this eventuates, could you score some fun and relatively uncrowded waves there?
Tonks any size, combined with a strong southerly generates a hellish rip.
These days it's a backpackers paradise. They even have a surf school.
Having said that it's a great part of the world and even if you don't score waves it's worth a visit.
In my humble opinion.

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.

Don't think the upcoming system will generate enough swell for it to be anything more than pleasant babyfood suitable for backpackers Tonks.

great rockfishing at the Catwalk.

I surfed it on dark. Still some 6ft+ sets. Bit of light gurgle on it. Dozen blokes out.

I see a really strong sustained S to SE swell event next week. Potential for ten foot surf at the Point.

He was surfing down the inside section. Tearing the bag out of it as you might expect.

If I lived where you do, I'm sure I wouldn't either. I also have booties and a hooded vest

not at all Tonks.

Look at the tide chart. Rock-off after an hour of run in; that'll be the safest rock-off all day. Come in down past the hut after a couple of hours of run-in.

Drift around and get yourself a big wave or three.
