Glassy, sunny, 3m swell, winter!

Who needs queensland?

I only took one pic today of Cathedral Rock doing it's stuff - those dots are surfers.



Ended up at Urquhart Bluff. Stacked full of cars and lots of peeps in the water. We debated about going for a surf here or down or up the road for around 15mins. The sticking point was that it was so crowded.

All of a sudden about 12 of them headed into shore all at once. we thought, great - "bugger all out now', and those left aren't even going for it.

After I donned up and pulled the board and paddle off my rack the guy parked next to me, who had just come in, said "you'll be right" I said "why" to which he replied "there's wildlife out there - you are on a stand up"

We hesitated again for about 10 seconds and then just got out there - no one get eaten, and the surf was absolutely epic.

probably only 5', I'm no wave size expert - too controversial for me to debate.

I just go by what port of melbourne report at the heads - it was about a 3m swell today, swell direction and period play a part of the story.

are you pissed? how many JD and cokes have you consumed?

Yep a great session at the bluff Adolf, after about 5hrs in the water yesterday I felt a bit weary afterwards

And today! I could take a lot more of this sort of weather , sun and waves , no wind ! Magic .
Yesterday must have been cranking Adolf !!!!

I didn't surf yesterday , but heard the roar of it in the morning and saw the swell at kilcunder

Easy 8' plus.

Nice one Sean!
New camera?

Not a bad session at Pines too...

Really fun session at Pines yesterday .... Got out early and had heaps of glassy 2 footers to myself on the incoming tide and was surprised by how uncrowded it was for such perfect day. Best surf I've had in a long time Luke

Luke,
I can only assume the lack of people on Sunday was because so many people had used up their "Brownie points" on Saturday on the bigger swell. (I know I did).

Good tactics by you!!

Reading between the lines, is that the best slam by a short boarder to a SUP surfer? Out you go mate, the big fish with the sharp teeth need feeding. Prefer it be a SUPer.

I was thinking the same thing on Sunday...! (As in brownies used up, and hence waves going to waste...0

I was the sup rider and yes got some of the biggest best waves,sat furthest out and waited for the bombs, no hassling but had to wait for them.so fun ,love bells

Lets see em PGC!!

Winki by Aquabumps




I only ever surfed Winki once. Having driven 20 hours from Sydney we pulled up at the carpark and it was pumping 6 foot+. One of the most memorable surfs I have ever had. Both Winki's are a sick wave when they are on!

Glenn nearly got cleaned up , but scored some great waves
