Hey Rich,
I just snuck into work after having taken a few hours off to surf Merricks this morning.

Massive tide around 3 metres, so there was lot's of water over the reef early.


Current state of buoy Online

Approx. time of reading 29/04/2010 15:07
Significant wave 3.88 metres
Maximum wave 6.09 metres
Significant period 13.6 seconds
Peak period 18.2 seconds
Mean magnetic direction 203.1 °
Latitude 3821.600S1

Earlier around midday the wave buoy bounced off 8 metres!!

I was taking off 120 metres further down from where I usually would as it was breaking so wide! I felt like I was sitting in the middle of the bay.
Suffice to say, I wasn't on my Sup today.
Very memorable

Hi Rich,sorry to hear your about your injury,it's really amazing how many guys have got something wrong, myself included, thats keeping them from getting wet.Get well soon, Rocket.

Hi Guy's + Girl's ,

Drove to Bells in my lunchbrake today as it was pumping at Torquay this morning but the wind has shifted more onshore now.

The pic's are poor quality taken from my mobile , 50 crew in the car park and two guy's actually surfing but the morning surf would have been packed out here with off shore light wind.

The sound these waves make was amazing and the crowd was going crazy when one guy surfed a bomb set from Bells to Winki .....and got flogged.

Plan to have my first surf in 5 weeks this weekend after injuring my back , think i might hit the river first...........and find my wetty.

Rich



View looking at Winki

Will do Warwick..thanks .

Hi Rod ,
correct everyone around me is injured at the moment, what's going on?
Hope your back on the water soon.

Stoked that Lummers is out of Hospital now , just need Phill (og sup) to recover quickly and tear apart Damiens on his dusty DC 9'4.

nice piccies rich

good luck on getting back on tha horse again

rock on

Wednesday was actually the pick. Winki was nuts !

Periods of back to back sets, feeling like 20 waves sets.... After getting one all the way through lowers, on the paddle back I saw Chicken slotted for a nice long barrel, and about 3 waves after that another regular took off, added an immediate high face stalling bottom turn, and tucked into a nice barrel, then unleashed a brilliant combo of turns, and hooked back into an even longer barrel into lowers. 11 out of 10.

Thursday was a touch unridable, and today was respectable, still solid, but not as clean as Wednesday.
