Check it out, 5-10 meters on a 12 secong period!!!

My local was 3-4 x overhead and closing out.

Some decent waves heading north I would think

I had to surf "the roy" - how embarrasing, don't tell anyone. Actually there were some really good ones on the low tide - best I've ever had it actually.

The south coast is getting flogged but some of the better points are handling it nicely.

Very gnarly and shifty, got a couple of alright ones. A certain big gnarly right hand barrel would be good today.....too bad about this work caper!

How's the swell has kept gettin bigger...now 6-11 meters on nearly 14 sec period!!!

It has gone even more nuts here in the last couple of hours, probably the biggest swell for a couple of years.

I can see why down winding is so popular up there..hehe.

Hey Dogman, It's so big they have barred the ferrys in the harbour!!! Thinking of trying a certain big right hander near where we surfed that morning, trouble is that it is dead low tide at 4.30[}:)]

Went to go for a late at a known big wave spot near manly, but a dead low tide and an exposed ledge didn't seem too sensible 2 days before the Maldives[}:)]

Hanging out for the morning. The swell is super south so will be surprised if you get much on the Goldy I'm afraid.

Here's a shot of a place from today that is completely protected from the Sth swell and is lucky to get to 4 foot:

Scored early at Nobbys reef Newcastle.Lots of water moving around and had to walk back to the clubhouse after each ride as there was no way I could paddle back out at the reef,I would have called it about 8ft on the sets.
Got a bit scary being the only person out though and the wind was starting to move around to the south so I called it a day at 7:30am. Kept me buzzing all day.

For those that frequent the Bay in the Hacking it was running from the end of the point just off Hordens Beach through to Bonnie Vale sometimes connecting all the way through into the middle of the bay

Longest waves I have ever had, even longer than Noosa...Funnest sup session I have ever had

Good 3ft and occasional bigger on the sets, lots of waves, never seen it like that before

And I heard the best drop in excuse ever...

A ski rider drops in and I catch up to him on the shoulder and he says sorry I cant turn the thing...As I watch a perfectly good wall run off down the line...I cut back inside and it reforms and it walls up again so I start running down the line again and I catch him again and he repeats the same excuse...lol...you just had to laugh
