Feeling a little wave starved in Perth lately and seems like a few others are too. We know down south will pump when it's on but days and swells like this are always hard to pick. Not to mention it's harder particularly if one does not have a 4WD to hit spots I will not mention To compound, it will be like a CIA mission: simply down for the morning, surf, then back home in prep for work the next day hence the conundrum. At least fuel is cheaper for once!

Not asking for spots or to delve into secrets but by all means happy to hear them if you will! This is just a simple poll: Yay or Nay. I've been down when swell has been slightly bigger than this only to be greeted by a flat ocean.

Nay, unless Xmas/uni hols/summer crowds are your thing, throw in sharks in the water and tards everywhere on the road. There are better options...

Not worth the time and money. Crowds are set to stay for the next couple months. Too many sharks would be on my mind.

Was head high and clean til late morning in prevelly and crowds were reasonable except for the point that had 30+ crew on it and sometimes four to a wave.
