haha he wants to learn to surf first before learning to swim. looks like the swells got a bit more west in it today bakesy, it was roughly that size a little further south with a few bigger sets. the northerly was a giving it a bit more wedgey feel to it, not super clean but making it run off better than it has been.

Sat afternoon Mulla point was working okay. Nice waves linking most of the way to the beach but only knee to waist high, a few bigger ones but not too consistent and very fast, only just make-able on a few.

Was out on my own for nearly 40 minutes until another guy joined. (made me happy as i felt safer then) But then another and another and gave up after 9 guys were all trying to work it out and sitting here there and everywhere[}:)]

Surfed a northern reef Sunday but hung over and should have stayed in bed
(seal out as well)

Then my wetsuit zip jammed and i was not happy from that point on, day just went down hill after that

On a boat demo today checked a reef off Hillarys and it was huge and nice form, but no one out

I don't usually surf the weekends but I made a late call and went for a sundowner on Saturday at a nice peak with hollow lefts and rights. Had a ball but the nerves start to kick in once the water turns black.

Looks like we might get some sand moved over the weekend, lets hope eh

Hey Zuke I remember a storm maybe ten years ago now that produced some of the best banks Ive ever seen.
It started strong and kept going for two weeks, big 6m swells and NW winds blowing up to 60knots.
I dont recall one that big since which is a shame. It made the Trigg streach look like pipeline, some of the best waves Ive surfed there ever!!

^^^^ I don't remember that far back doggie but there's no doubt a good NW blow can really help the banks. The more swell with it the better I think.

I surfed Trigg on Sunday, why I dont know. I looked down the beach and its so steep in some sections and the back wash is horrible. From tomorrow onwards should mix things up but the wind isnt strong enough imo, swell is good tho.

We will see

I ate 5hit so many times recently from that backwash. You see your wave coming in, position yourself, paddle for it, look over your shoulder to make sure you're not dropping in and then finally as you stand up you finally notice the lump of water rushing back out from shore. You hit it at speed as your drop in, your knees buckle and the board winds up molesting you and you eat it again as the wave closes on you.

****ing backwash... although it can be great fun with some speed and actual anticipation.

If you can time your take off so the backwash pushes you up it can be great as well, I think it takes a bit of power out of the wave tho.

2 foot slop

Been to Perth recently?

^^^what when you were forty years of age. Sorry mate. Couldn't resist a longboarder leaving himself open like that.

Frickin Sunday!!

No banks, frostbitten toes. Don't think it was suba, but you never know.

It turned offshore at sunrise this morning but the beaches were out of control. Big, lumpy and shutting down. There were a few rips so hopefully the banks will get some shape but nothing yet.

plenty of swell but really lumpy, nothing really firing Suns out but
