South swell period too long for the NB’s.

Big fat burgers at Bronte. I didn’t bother going out. Pretty soft long rides by the look. Might hit it tomorrow.

Early session at greenhills. Size and power is up a notch since yesterday

Looked at a few places today, 15 second swell period just leads to close outs around here.

Bondi packed. Tons of foamies getting drilled in solid closeouts the whole length of the beach. Some decent undertows up the north end. Clubbies are busy.

Nothing at long reef outside Banks or butterbox ?

Haven't really ever scoped the Longie outer reefs much.

Surfed White Rock once and Brownwater a couple of times but otherwise haven't given it a run.

About two more weeks and I can start surfing again. Surfing in Perth since mid November has only been marginally better than surfing in Alice Springs!

Probs not big enough yesterday for the outside, tho butterbox might be worth keeping in mind next south swell, better if there’s a little east in the swell but worth checking still

Every day, it keeps me sane

Need to go early on the 34+ days though.

did you end up fcuking with the fins?

Picked up a cheap 4.5” fibreglass box thruster fin and tried it as a thruster this morning with Wade Goodall sides.
Goes good.
Think it will be safer bet on slabbier take offs.
Widowmaker for points.

two-three feet, very clean beachies. caught a couple of nice lefts on a peak by myself when I first paddled out. pod of dolphins came through. then sat around for half an hour getting nothing. moved down to another peak with three people on it and caught a dozen more.

pretty good morning. I wasn't expecting much. I had driven around the reefs and bombies that looked OK the day before...they were flat today. but then saw a scrum of white vans at the beach.

Welcome, PP.
