^^^ Ditto Trigg to Sorrento - one lone desperado out at Tom's... saw him get a messy shoulder high left - not worth going out IMO...
...and it was not as big as expected, but it certainly was the full on washing-machine weedy mess I thought it may have been... might be weed city for a week or so at some locations it's that thick
On the positive side - fingers crossed for some new banks
Had a really good surf yesterday, but the water was cold. Favourite moment? Trying to do one of those new-fangled airs the kiddies do and my front foot stayed connected and the back foot slipped off and I did a bent-knees-splits thing on landing. Tweaked my old bones in the front knee pretty good. Got a scare but it ended up nothing. Could've easily been a lot worse.
No-one (of note) was out, so that was good.
Today I gambled and will probably lose. Should've gone the early, but I've opted for the late.

The lesson here is dont do airs, well at least try them if you are over 35
Massive drop in the swell, and the Southerly is all over it... white caps and folding waves .
Couple of messy banks at Triggs, but a fair few crew on each of them (and that bloody back-wash is still there).
I came home to wash the car - hoping tomorrow is cleaner...
Early it looked great on the cams
Yeah - it did. But I don't think the Trigg South cam really shows the early winds... I was doing the rounds at 9:00am... Mate went out at Trigg thirds and by the time I went to do the grocery shopping less than an hour later his car was back in his driveway.

I bloody hope Saturday is good Im hanging to get in the water!!
Hoping the swell sticks around for saturday also, looks small though
27 degrees forecast for Sunday. I'm looking forward to the hoardes of 'fairweather surfers' coming out of hibernation, dusting off their Sups and Funboards, hell bent on chaos.
Really clean on the beaches this morning with good banks. Plenty of left/right peaks and not many out. Smaller than yesterday unfortunately, only about waste to chest unless you're a cripple then it was head high!
I'll just work a year or two as a mathematical modeler for some mining company and pay off my debt outright ;-)
Anyhoo, watching the waves, drinking coffee, having a perv at two very blonde and very hot mums and reading a book about the physiology of tuna. Like a pig in 5hit
Nothing like it... barely waist high and way too fat - even watched a couple of mals struggling at the 'corner' @ Trigg.
I'm back home after driving from Ocean Reef to Scarbs... gonna wait a couple of hours for both the wind and tide to drop...
...and yes, there was a lot of yummy-mummy's along the coast this morning!
GPA did you check in at the (Our) Northern Point Is thier anything? Or just weed? I have a very very small window tomorrow and would prefer to spend it in the water than on the road, or is it just a waiste of time
^^^ Yeah I did. The only weed is a thick patch right on shore - apart from that the water is clear.
Was about waist high or a touch bigger both in front of the car park and at the Northern end (from what I could tell, as there was no one out).
It seemed to be breaking a touch fast - but definitely a little bank working there.
I might pop up there with the mal tomorrow morning... but it looks like the swell is dropping further - if so it will be too small unless you are 8yrs old!
Swell has dropped a touch, and it is still too fat and too windy...
2nd car park is barely waist high in infrequent sets of one wave, and thirds has a nice bank but there are 20+ blokes on it, including an SUP and everyone seems to be dropping in on each other
I'd give it a miss, but reckon tomorrow will be smaller and more crowded - so will head down again mid arvo... yes I am desperate!!
