Did better than me Zuke. I got up about 4 to suss the buoys and wasn't convinced enough to do the drive, ended up surfing Nails mid morning on way too low a tide and paid the price. Straightened out and bailed on a little one and copped the edge of the reef to the kidney and a shredded back.
Last time I was this sore was due to a couple of microdots and those feckin Samoans at the Lookout.

Damn smicko, that sucks mate. I was umming and arring (sp) and saw the wave period spike and the offshore wasn't as strong as predicted so I thought it might be OK, but by that time it was too late for anyone else. I don't surf on my own as much as I used to so that was a nice change today.

I'm a thousand mg of naprosyn and half a bottle of Cirillo Rose ahead of you Toddy
Seriously cannot believe that I got absolutely flogged on a (maybe) 1ft wave.

Zuke, if you ever need a wingman....
Just not in the next coupla days

Those 1 footers will do you in with your own complacency.

Yep! Wrecked my ankle on a wave barely more than waist high in the shore-break, and I still feel it every single day 6 years on...

Just spent a week on a Island in north QLD that i was promised has no surf

Problem was a guy got of the plane carrying a board and he said he was just traveling through. Next day i hiked a buggy and drove around everywhere and found what needed to be seen to believe. Dinghy anchored on a nearby island, two guys in head and half spitting barrels, massive runs..

Eventually a local gave it up but it only works with a cyclone he tells me

Every other day i had to sit and watch small waves breaking in the bay in front of me all morning till the tide went out but we were forbidden to take the free paddle boards anywhere near the waves[}:)]

Just got home last night to find out my drivers points are up. Wife said she'll drive for work but not for surfing, so i could be back onto a pushie with board under arm for three months

Two positives here JB.
1. If you ever go there again now you are well aware.
2. At least riding a pushie will help with your excersize and getting "surf fit"

Riding to work isn't that bad. Only 10 km each way, although the rain might make it not so much fun.. Towing boats could be a little harder but can manage that too..

But she won't run me surfing she said, that's my punishment[}:)] I think i'm going to go double or nothing and try and drive like Ms Daisy..

Went somewhere different with the rise in swell and surfed a left today but it was a little strange. The sets were good, head and a half and hollow but the wait between the sets was very unusual with 15 to 20 minutes of nothing. The whole session was like that, three wave sets followed by a really long wait.

Still worth it though.

Great surf at a northern beachy, light onshore but very surfable
