North Scarb was fun this morning. Better was the Breaky roll at Peters and the drive north to work via spandex drive

Sharky as hell where I was early this morning. Felt like a sitting duck. Just caught a few and came in.

Had a really good surf with another 'breezer today. The forecast was for light winds most of the day so we took a chance and travelled. It payed off with a light NE all morning. Just the one OK pic due to not charging the camera!

It was pretty sharky with the early overcast conditions though!

To the contrary, I see a Bodyboarder setting up for a fun one where otherwise it would be a standup probably sitting too deep and not making it.

That deep south spot has always been uncrowded or empty when I've been down there, one of those places where the Jaws music plays in your head all surf.

Still poor form dropping in. Crowds and greedy wave hogs cause strange things to happen

Probably. But let's not take any chances and push down the section and make sure he doesn't, right?

You know what, based on that photo alone, I'm pretty confident I'd make it. If not, I wouldn't paddle in and I'd give the nod to the shoulder hopper. People who drop in just in case the other guy doesn't make it, thereby destroying what's usually the best section of the wave, deserve all they get. And that guy would've got it from me.

Heading south today for the next few days. Hopefully get something decent, especially Sunday. Then off to Indo for a quickie.

Oh and sick photos. ^^^

As for the drop in photo. A good surfer could make it through that section easy enough. Doesn't look like he's too deep. Esky lidders crumbling sections in front of you doesn't make it easier though...in fact it can be dangerous on the more consequential waves.

Plenty of 'washing machine' action out there today...

Checked a fickle novelty spot with crossed fingers - no go, swell and tide not quite playing nice

Cheers zuke. Was nice to get in the water consistently again.
I was fairly shark spooked on every surf I had though (considering the time of year).

More people at ST than I have ever seen - maybe 40... with more heading out each minute...

Tide very low, so it's breaking further out - and therefore not as protected and clean as maybe expected.

Smaller than you'd think - maybe shoulder high and very shortish rides...

Oh well, back to painting

if you have a little patience and are in the right spot, you can get some joy. first time in years iv been able to get in more than 3 turns on a single wave in perth. there were also some cranking rights up the beach. mostly closeouts, but some legit barrels on offer.

I have no patience - and I know it...

To be fair, I did see more than a couple of guys getting in some good cutties and turns, but still - they were very short walls...

Glad you scored out there... I'm STILL painting!

A wave with sand this arvo was a disgrace. So many snakes and hastlers, more than I've ever seen. I live up the road and the joint was a joke. Mals, Goat boats, Kooks, kids and anyone in between. Looked like farken snapper rocks. What a disgrace. Not worth the hastle!

Best day of the winter at my local. Storm did a good job. One week before October, similar to a couple of years ago.

It's not winter anymore, but it certainly feels like it is. Crazy weather patterns

rips, etc were keeping everyone relatively dispersed where i was so everyone got waves. couple of guys charging the rouge/closeout waves. it was great to see them committing to the drop, sticking it and getting a (almost) barrel for a second or two and subsequently get flogged. hoots all round.

Had a look at Trigg this arvo and it was like summer, soo many people out. There was a really good peak where I saw a knee boarder drop in on a SB who had dropped in on a lid who had dropped in on a SB. What a circus!
