For the next week at least by the looks we are going to have very long period pumping winter swells.

Sydney is 2 x overhead plus at some spots already and building with light offshores!

Hopefully you poor old QLDers see some left overs

just came in from the alley 1ft when I got there, of course as it started to get dark it picked up. Consistent 3fters as i strapped the board on the roof.fingers crossed for the morn!!!

go south over the border they say. there was more ne wind swell mid week then there is today around our traps. someone said main beach was 3'. news shows d bar at 2' and they are talking about it like mana from heaven
i'm not holding my breath for much gold coast wave action this weekend. besides, every surfer in se qld will be mooching around trying to find waves after the mythical big wave build up we have been hearing all week
cheers
ps if waves happen tomorrow, disregard the above comments

Yeah that nice sandbank just north of Sydney was pumping this arvo.
I didn't get right out the back but I heard there were 6-8' stand up barrells again, DTM. This time Tom Carroll and Bruce Raymond were dropping them for you. Wasn't keen to battle it out backhand with those guys so we stayed inside closer to the beach. It was a bit fat and sketchy on the higher tide, but still 6' walls are always fun!
Have to say there is nothing like seeing those big dark monsters come at you from waaay out back. All you can do is paddle your hardest and fight the surge of adrenalin! Yeehaa!

Thanks for that. Was up there this morning at first light and it looked alot better than it was from the North Side viewing platform. A few people on it early but its blowing sideshore with the early wind. We were hoping the wind would stay away for a few hours. Damn it. Glad you got some. Envious - esp seeing that it did go NE this arvo and I was busy doing some work.

scored a few out there this morning, a bit bumpy but was well worth the paddle.
Certainly seems a lot hollower these days which should keep a lot of mals away.
Took this shot a few weeks ago on a smaller day showing a sup in the pit.

looks a reasonable size to me. hate to think what you call big

Well it didn't disappoint here in Sydney on Sat. I was lucky enough to get 2 surfs in - the first one was mad - ended up breaking my gun again in a full stand up back hand barrell then had to watch Dan pull in for the next 30 mins til he took pity on me and lent me his SUP. - what a mate!!

Just came in then from a big meaty right, here's a shot of it from yesterday when it was smaller:



Forecast is calling for another 5 - 6 days of it, wooo hooo!!

nice pic mate, box has been mad the last 2 days but super crowded, i dont know if you were out this morning but there atleast 10 boats in the channel, it gets crazy

Had a look out the back early but it was insanely crowded so I moved in close to the beach and scored some fantastic walls.
I was on the red C4 subvector.

What about this one Mr Goat?

Oh...haven't checked Real Surf yet, that is from Sat lunch.

How good was the surf this weekend

Is that you?

Nah its an impersonator riding a blue Laguna bay custom

How was the left late yesterday?

Dan reckons white water out there was pretty heavy, unfortunately video footage makes it look a little fatter and less heavy than it actually was.

Good some good film of a guy with a certain double ender paddle.

It was pretty damn good yesterday morning. A little crowded at times but there were still plenty of good ones up for grabs if you played your cards right. I was starting to cramp up after a consistent four hour session. A little tired today after that, a really fun session at a secret left hand point on Saturday morning and the Fenn Cup race on Saturday arvo.
