Looking real good. We've had plenty of swell the past few days, and the banks have been becoming more defined each low tide, should have some nice bars to choose from.
So JB how's that local of yours looking ?? You thinking north or south palmy looks like little to no wind with small east swell so either would be on ... Any early predictions?

same spot as last time I think, Not sure how the banks are looking but I am looking forward to it

Sweet always seems to turn something on that way for us hopefully handles the high tide? Yeah Its looking like a cracker of a day weather wise 27' !!
There is a nice bank at the corner of the road, so a possibility of setting up on the grass south of the surf club might be nice, alternatively the same car park we were at last time about 2 or 3 car park bays north of the surf club also have some nice banks. It's gonna be a low tide start with high tide after 12, they seem to be pretty big tides at the moment at the moment also, so it's gonna change a heap through out the comp (as it usually does). Swell size looks stable around 2 foot and assuming the wind stays away, the northern option will probably be more favorable as it's likely to have a little more size.
I'll swing past today a few times to see what's happening.
Hard to tell with the onshore wind at the moment. It's pretty clear the two main banks north of the surf club would be the best go. Possibly the far north car park bay like previous comps.
Definitely far north car park, looks awesome 3 key peaks to choose from. Light 2-5 knott westerly wind, glassy water. Waved nearing head high on the sets.
Wow those shots are sick .... Go the heli cam!!! What a day everyone was smashing it!!!!!!
Gotta agree Performance level looked like it was off the richter and that heli cam has to be the most impressive piece of kit seen on here for many a day. Cheers Sparx
Bummer!! Spent the day on Narrabeen beach at branch Nippers watching peaks firing up and down the beach all day! A couple of PB's from the young fella made it worth whilst though! Hope fully next time!!
Thanks heaps to Casso, Steve, Di, Andre and the rest of the SPSC team for an excellent day. Great food, excellent waves, perfect fun, next to no wind and slightly off shore, you can;t really ask for much more than that! Looking forward to the next one.
I've got about 580 shots to sort through but will through them up once I'm done.
