Jesus & Mother of Mary - are you sure thats not Teahupoo Ted

mate thurs fri & sat look sweet enough for Newk , but whoa baby 8+ metres Ted you gotta take the camera for the room here , once in a lifetime shots maybe did notice the wind tho yes

hope that wind doesn't smash it , like to see pics of that Ted

^^^

swells not here yet Pup only 2-3 ft on the open beaches at the moment, the fun will start tonight. Wind is a good 30 plus knots offshore which is keeping it out to sea.

Getting in early before the swell hits,strained medial lig yesterday in 2 foot surf.
Big girl I am.

As for the Pup's advice to use liniment on it.....All I can suggest is if you try this method
WASH your hands before scratching nuts ...........................****

It's coming, the Cams on the south coast are showing an increase in swell and looks like the wind has turned down there already.

Only thing ill be taking out the cover the next few days is a camera.

A good night to get a bottle of red and start that board build Ted

The winds backed off a bit here now ( south coast ) but it's still raining a bit.

Shark Island Left was absolutley smoking on the cams today, best I've seen it.

Gez there is so much chatter on the news and weather stations about the front [}:)]

60 knots is plenty. A few years back we had 4 east coast lows through June. Could well be another one next week.

looking at swellnet , it's dark but you can see maroubra & newcastle is very messy , but lots rolling in badly affected by wind

Holly smoke - Thats farrrrrken windy....you we're lucky the roof stayed on!!!

its a washing machine out on the open coast. Its not as big as I thought it might get earlier in the week as the front has stayed far too close to the coast sadly. Oh well we do have some longer period stuff due in the next few days.



The other side of the headland had a couple of options.....the left coming in though looked hideous with all the water moving off the new rock wall which would have mad the paddle a miserable experience although there were a few tasty ones coming in.





3 boogies braved the first light conditions at the Rockpool and were getting a few rides although with the tide it was breaking right on the rocks from takeoff. I shall check this later in the day for any improvements although I do not hold out much hope!
