Stormy 8-10ft surf with a howling southerly wind. Yuck.

Saltwater Point Thursday

Nice work - looks like it was fun up your way. All our normal spots that work in those conditions were crap yesterday sadly. Did you get a few fun ones? Doesn't look that busy.

^^^^ Still nursing the sore shoulder so didnt go out. The photos dont give the size justice either, set waves were in the 6-8 foot mark probably about 5 in the water.

The locals up here have a bit of a tongue in cheek winge, call it Newcastle Point due to all the Newy surfers who come up here. As I was watching a guy with a Sam Egan shorty was going in, likely come up for the day.

I didnt get photos but I was down south of Forster checking boomers and celitos on Wednesday they have some good banks at the moment.

No got to Bungwahl, wife and I just went for a drive, but not seals. You can see straight across to there from celitos, probably in the 3-4' range and offshore.

Hey Lads surfed Snapper throught to Greenmount this morn 3 foot good conditions didnt get any photos had to park to far away but here are some from a D,bah beachie I took on the way home
I have this new Panasonic Lumix camera it takes half an hour to upload 3 photos now does anyone else experience this long time to upload or am I doing something wrong
Mac checked Cow Bay thinking it might be working no luck I think it needs a big easterly swell really

well it might have been small at lm,but it was ****ing nuts across the pond from me. checked the local,very messy and thought i would venture over. 6.30ish in the water and solid 4ft spitting slabs. the waves were thicker than height. i am not good enough. 3 waves and 3 ****ing unbelievable beatings,i was puffed,ego was smashed and i paddled home with my tail between my legs. the bullet is in one piece so something good came out of the day. im still blowing water out off my head now.

Credit to you even going over there while this swell is even around I stopped in a Kingy in way up was to wild for me filthy sweep there to

Boofy, I've always used Sd card and transfer to com with card reader plugged into USB.
No probs.

Thanks Scotty will try that this camera is supposed to be 12meteres waterproof but everytime I go to take it in the ocean I chicken out just doesnt seem right

Make sure you wash it in fresh water after each use. Thats a must if you want any life out of it.

As for loading pics - like Scotty said - use the card to read directly to your PC. USB cables are notoriously slow and annoying. They work when you need them as a last resort but best to not.

Once you get them on your PC for posting to SB and emails etc its best if you can shrink their size to 250ish....pretty easy to do on most photo programs - just "export" and then select the file size you desire. If you do not have a decent photo program Google have a great one called picassa thats free and easy to use.

Yeah looks like it might be ok, think we are planing a little road trip over the weekend

Sydney yesterday,






Inside Newcastle harbour Wednesday.

5.5 meter swell for tomorrow here.

Big and loads of east in the swell. You could go out if you were keen or had a jet ski....But in reality nowhere around here is working this morning sadly....a 20 min drive is required and I do not have time sadly......tom should be good I am a hoping.

Couple from Saturday morning, early





Some say WA has sh!t surf

2 foot

too big for me today. its massive here. will upload some photos later when I get a chance.

yep....Manly was pumping this morning and still is from what I hear. Its just been one of those days up here.....massive and not really doing it. I watched two boogie boarders taking on some monsters at one spot and a huge 10ft plus set came through and mowed them down. We all felt for them as this thing exploded in front of them. Scary. They were washed in half drowned. My shots have not come out well so have not bothered posting them. The GF is down the beach at the moment so if she gets some goodies I will post them later. The reefs were a little bit wonky. 3 blokes took one of them on but the big sets looked a bit frightening for me so I stayed out of harms way. The rest of them looked unreal. Ahhhh what a whimp
