Inspired by Gibber's story yesterday I set out full of good intentions this morning.
At least the wind was right. Checked from my local point north via Neil St, Ann St and Curras. Tide too low. No real joy so I tried Happy Valley. Couple of punters there getting some very small ones so I gave the swinger it's firs outing with its new owner.
Good fun but very few waves.
The southerly change seems to have come through earler than expected. Light rain now.

Maybe a beach or 2 north would have had some, maybe Dons secret fave SC beachie, reckon it'd have a few little peaks this morn.....ths SE change is a refreshing change, its been farking stinking hot last few days but some fun little waves to cool off in..... 8)

Nah. The tide was too low and all along that stretch was basically closing out. I was talking to Scotty Palmer at Ann St and he was of the same opinion - and he knows the area much better than I do. Another hour or two and it might have been pretty good.
Actually........... I'm outa here. 8) :wink:

Slightly better today. Waves at Ann St but a pretty much sideshore wind.
Smoother conditions at my local but it's still wind swell mostly.

Hi Jimmy,
The points I'm thinking about are just Nth of the border.
Blacks at 6-8' should have been punchy?
Hey Mark,
late out of the gate this morning so maybe tomorrow.
Got "black salve" skin cancer brew turning a spot just above my achilles into a fri66in volcano waiting to erupt it's cancerous roots out so not too sure about water time unless its good. :roll:
Here's a link to the stuff I'm talking about if anyone out there wants to try it rather than having docs freeze/cut it out...

For Sunshine coasters there's a guy selling at it at Noosa farmers market cheaper than you can find on the net.
See the Paul the "Neem man" for a testemonial.

Cuttles, i used to live in SD and I'm struggling to figure out where you mean? :?
Loma? Wouldn't surf much further south than that, IB is nasty.
I guess I just wouldn't really call them points, having grown up surfing the goldy.

Blacks at 6-8 is one of my best surfs anywhere, except for the crowd. At least there are a few peaks when it's bigger.

Jimmy, from Downtown is almost easier to get around than where you were before. Can get the Coaster to a lot of decent breaks in north county.

Checked out Cronulla point.4 guys out-decent waves coming through- couldn't believe my luck. That was until I got out there and realized we were sharing with about a thousand bluebottles. Turned into a very short surf! :evil:

sorry, but wont be gettin on any program that sounds like he is your gay seppo toy boy......maybe you been over there too long... :roll: 8)

took my young fella out to a rock point for his first time this morning, waves were soft and easy so it wasnt a problem but is a big deal for a grom to surf new spots sometimes especially when its all rocks....waves were clean 2-3ft but super soft and hard to get even on a 3" board.....

From what I know mark he lived over here for a while and the reason I was blowing smoke up his bum is that when I left the surf areas and went to my conference I thought it was all over. He gave me some info that got me some waves today..

Fark me, if I didn't know any better I'd have thought you'd left NSW and gone back to QLD..

And just on the quiet. You know I do websites and your landing page is not up to scratch and you spelt Nicks name wrong! :o :o
