Better than expected, both size and shape... but once the Trigg clubbies put up their training floats across one of the banks and pushed everyone 50m south it just became too crowded...

Oh well - I support the lifesavers 100%... and it was prob good for the nippers to get out amongst a bit of size...

Crank'in in the great Southern, bit smaller than expected. But still well overhead & plenty of boards on roofracks headed in the other direction on the way down. Looking good till Wednesday

Yeah swell jumped the day we left. Great beaches down that way though

And boards on just about every car down there. Its almost surprising the surf isn't more crowded.

Coming home yesterday there was a lot of boards heading south as well.

Yeah I was expecting a lot more crew. Got down to a beachie other side of where you were mostly surfing & it was slight crossshore, but offshore. Was gonna check another spot, but a local pulled up next to me & got me motivated. The wind swung more offshore & we had some fun chest high long wally waves to ourselves for 3 hours...then had some lunch did some sightseeing with the missus, including the beach you frequented. Had a nice bank in the middle, everyone was in two other spots, but yeah not crowded. Man that sand was soft though, had to drop into L4...meanwhile wind went round to the NW so I headed back to the other beachie. Almost there & a thunderstorm erupted, it pissed down. Then heaps of cars with boards headed the other way & I had the place to myself for a bit before a couple of friendly guys come out. Having a great time, been 15 years since I've been down here. Gonna come here in Summer instead of cape to cape from now on

I had a fantastic surf this afternoon at my absolute local. It hasn't been that good in years

Got some fun and uncrowded waves not too far from Perth over the weekend.
Definitely nothing like the down south crew were scoring but plenty of fun

What a bloody great past few days for waves. was great to surf some juice for a change in just boardies. I scored bigtime , hope you all did too

PM me where you went

Had a really good session today at a known spot with a handful of guys out. Great vibe with everyone taking turns and calling others on to waves. It was overcast and raining on and off but the wind was light and offshore with good head and a half high sets rolling through.

Had some super fun wedges at a little protected bay in the great southern. Waves were bouncing off sideways off a rock & I was catching those...they'd hit a wave coming straight in & throw out a short barrel or very whackable/floatable section. Had a couple of funny sections where I'd turn & be surfing straight out to sea, then cutback & be riding along parallel to shore again...nice little novelty wave in an epic setting

I was about to post about how even the metro beachies were alright today until I read your post about what sounds like a really good surf mate... No, no post from me

^^^^^That's right MickPC and it sounds like a lot of us have scored recently which is great to hear.

few at Broome today , check out the cam- broomecam.info/

Yep but didn't give directions

Might get some rain by the looks of that lot....could do with it.

Teeny tiny waves at LBB... [was never going to be good when we saw three or four cars heading back south at 7:30am].

Shame, as the banks seemed to be there... just no swell. Maybe a waist high one every 15-20 min. Not worth the fuel...

Scabs was small too, bit better yesterday even in the onshore

Had mint wave this morning. Small but great shape and nice rides with wall to work and little floaters for finish. Very happy. Hopefully back down latter on tide turn for take two

Yep surfed agian from 5 till 7.15. Just 5 guys and plenty of sharing and hooting. One of the most mellow laid back surfs this year
