Why no pics lately zuke....?? You still hitting your outer reefs?

I've committed to a long term project with no full days off and with my spots requiring most of the day to get to the boat's out for a while. After it's over I should be able to hit my spots up more than before so that's the light at the end of the tunnel for me. But for now it's just early quick sessions locally.

Here's a (not very good) pic from my last outing, I took one quick pic as I was leaving. Some of the best barrels I've had for years, really deep and hollow.




PS: Bad luck Andy. I think it would have only been good for the very early, I was in at 6:45 and out at 7:20.

Really - 35min? It takes me that long to get into it some days...

I can't surf to the clock - I had a 90min window last Friday morning and although I got a few never felt settled as I knew I had somewhere else to be... that's why I struggle with the pre-work surf I guess.

You just break it down and do it, remember its better than not getting a surf..

I surf most days of the week but am lucky to get more than 30 minutes. If I am pressed for time, which is usually the case, I might go out and get 6 waves. Might take 15 minutes, might take 45. Always feel better for it.

Any time in the water is good for me GPA, at least it's keeping me sane.

30 mins during a lunch break has kept me sane on occasions

Within gunshot distance of bolgo. Apparently the go-to once secret place in these conditions had 100 out (probably exaggeration). Much less where I was, and fun. Antarctic wind.

I just couldn't bring myself to paddle out yesterday. Inside artos was OK but I didn't particularly want to go solo and it would've been a gamble to be in the right spot at the right time.

Today's place had a handful yesterday but it was a struggle. I could've but I piked.

Shame about the swell.

No, not an exaggeration at all! The most crowded ive ever seen it! Maybe because the usual storm spot is gone :(

I personally find the place a bit of a joke. It's great when you jag it and not many are out. But at the end of the day, it is usually small. Even in big swell, it is still not that big. It's a bit over rated. The problem is also that every wanna be pro goes there in the storms, and every learner/longboarder/SUP also think they have right to the place. Massively crowded at times.

I know I sound like a broken record, going on about the "good old days" but that joint used to get so good. Just A frames up and down the beach. And Tearooms? Sheeeeez, big bowling lefts from out past the groyne to the pylon. Had a share house in John street for a couple of winters in my late teens and that joint was nuts.

No exaggeration this winter. There's no sandbanks.

The reef is Dummies. It's still there in summer. Was there about a month ago. I think it's covered now.

Yeah I agree with above. It seems if the car park is packed there's every chance it's only chest high sometimes and every dog is having a sniff.

^ was there much size? Checked the Rotto buoy early, only 2m.

checked a few places this morning, problem was the tide.

Wow, I haven't surfed for 12 days before today-I thought it was ok!
Amazing what a forced drought will do to perception of "**** Perth waves"
Any day surfing better than a day not surfing-unless it involves a derby win and Jen hawkins
