Good to hear the Pines delivered for you today Oliver.Big Left seems like a good place to avoid with the weekend crowds,although have seen some sups throughout the day down there on the surfcam.
Gave it all a miss today after a late finnish to work Friday.
Will head out tomorrow,hopefully find some leftovers somewhere.

Camo.

Most of the time theres a small wave on the cosy corner side of pt danger breaking in different spots depending on the tide/swell and good for a muck about.
Looks like being a good day for a paddle anyway Planesailing,
Cheers,
Camo.

We've just had a big spike in swell with period increasing as well. Looking good for massive swell tomorrow but a bit scared of the wind forecast. Camo is heading down to Western Port and I might join him if the wind isn't too bad.

Anyone else lloking at getting waves in Vic tomorrow?

Hopefully it gets massive. I might end up regular surfing at Merricks.
Otherwise I might be pole boarding in the bay somewhere.

Possos could be good earlier and Roady super early cos of tides. I'm still thinking winds could be way too gnarly for most spots regardless of the direction.

Yep looking really really good!

Wish it was high tide at dawn rather than low. Limits my options!

You need one more post Brooko!!!!!!

Any Vic guys keen for a surf/paddle Saturday morning I'm thinking of going to Pines early (6:30ish) for like an hour then paddle up to Lefts & Rights for some more waves. It will most likely be pretty small but should be fun.

Wind forecast differs a lot between sites at the moment so as it gets closer we can make a more definate decision. The forecast wave period is really long which should make for some good clean straight waves.

I'm keen even though the forecast shows possible rain and wind as we get the edge of that front coming through but The Pines should be protected.

btw it's not light till about 7am..

Weather forecast is getting better but swell forecast has dropped a bit. If it is tiny we can always hit up Big Left but i'd prefer Pines or L&R's. See what happens. Anyone else keen?

Looking good for tomorrow morning! Winds lightish offshore at Pines and good long period ground swell expected to peak Saturday morning.

I'm still keen to paddle up towards Lefts & Rights once the tide drops a bit and if enough swell is getting into the bay.

Must say looking good on your side as well Rich!

So who is coming to Pines area in the morning? DJ, you still in?

Cammo is confirmed plus me.

Sweet DJ. See you there. We can call it a committee meeting!

Oliver, where do you live?

It was a great day.. You missed a good one Oliver (sorry to rub it in)..

I got there soon after 7am and the sun was just coming up and it was a mild 9 deg.



I looked across and the guys were already out.. Cam, Bren and Paul (SHQ).



It only looked small but there was the odd big set rolling through.

We paddled up to Somers.. Not because it was anywhere near Somers.. but because it was near Daryl Somers house (Hey hey it's Saturday Daryl)..

We found this secret spot (well it was a secret to us) and it was awesome.. Heaps of long rides and only us out..

Cam with his 9'6" Surf shapes board.. Bren with his Oxbow 9'6".. Paul with his 9'3" PSH and me with my Naish 11'4" Battleship Galactica..

We swapped boards and had a ball.

DJ



btw..

I saw one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen walking into the water and looking out to where the guys where.. Over their heads I see this meteor or falling star shooting across the sky and burning up as it dropped towards the horizon.. It was daylight.. it was as clear as.. and it was this beautiful bright pale blue'ie green color.

I paddled over to a surfer that was waiting for a set and said did you see that and he said yes.. How cool was that.. The guys missed it because they were probably looking back towards me.

Had a fun session this morning with DJ,Brenno and Paul.I decided to get down there and in the water super early having recently read an article about a bloke that hits the water an hour before dawn,they call him Marspial.
So when Brenno rolls up and you can see the wave as you drive in[during daylight that is]he thinks I'm having a sleep in the car until realising theres a figure amongst the darkness floating around at the lineup.I was hoping he'd leave the headlights on across the break as I couldnt see a bloody thing but I did manage to catch a couple only to find a submerged rock with my kneecap.Couldn't see above the water let alone below.
Anyway later on we swapped boards,
I've seen Brenno ride the 9'6" Oxbow in choppy ,windy conditions and after a go on it I rekon he's going to be the first bloke on a 5'11" SUP.
Then had a rest on DJ's naish ,good to cruise around on and soak up the scenery.
The PSH 9'3" ripper I was happy to succcessfully catch a couple on this,has loads of performance feel to it and just being on a board thats so far from the 11' barge I started on in January was great.
Then it was time to get the surfshapes back,,I'm fully stoked with this board.
Cheers,
Camo.

I'll be heading down somewhere quiet in Western Port on Sunday at dawn - I'd expect with that sort of swell there should be enough waves for everyone.

Looks at Bnaccas and says

gonna try out the 9'6 on Sunday wooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooo

and Krisit will be on the 8'2 Imperial!

See you there at O dark 100
