That sinking feeling you get when all you see is a fleating glimps of a grey fin, and the rush of relef when the dolphin pokes it's nose out of the water.

Almost turned my nice white boardies brown this morning

Was nice to have a whole break to myself in a city of 4,500,000 this morning for an hour! Expected to see Obct but he was no where to be seen.

Had some surfing with us last Saturday, little ones big ones. One real big one rolling around out the back smacking his tail on the water, looked like it was having a great time

A bloke up this way got followed in earlier in the week, supposedly he saw it started paddling in and it just cruised behind him the whole way. They closed the beaches but it was only 4ftish long.

Edit here's the story.


Shark chases surfer at Merewether Beach
MATT CARR
28 Mar, 2012 10:34 AM
LIFEGUARDS locked down several Newcastle beaches this morning after a shark chased a surfer out of the waves at Merewether.
The sighting of the 1.2-metre shark at about 9am prompted Merewether, Bar Beach and Dixon Park beaches to close for about 45 minutes as lifeguards attempted to ensure it was safe.

Newcastle City Council aquatic services manager Peter Withers said a surfer spotted the shark while surfing between Merewether and Dixon Park beaches.

The surfer alerted lifeguards of his close encounter after coming ashore shortly before the beaches were officially due to open at 9am.

''He's paddled in and said the shark actually followed him in,'' Mr Withers said.

Lifeguards then instructed swimmers to come ashore, taking a jet ski from Nobby's Beach to patrol the area for about half an hour.

No sign of the shark was spotted and its breed was not identified, Mr Withers said.

''I think the average person probably wouldn't be able to identify what kind of shark they've spotted,'' he said.

All three beaches reopened about 10am.

The sighting follows an eventful season for the aquatic predators in the Hunter.

Glen ''Lenny'' Folkard returned to the waves off Redhead last week after a shark took a chunk out of his upper thigh in that area on January 18.

A grey nurse shark also latched onto a fisherman's foot off Broughton Island late last month.

Mr Withers said there had been an average number of sightings over the summer months tragically punctuated by the attack off Redhead beach.

spooky. was paddling back from the reef once going on dark, i could make out this big dark shape getting closer. had a big paddle back, i did not see it for a bit(sh1tting like crazy still) when it came right near me and the top. bloody huge stingray. i was so happy that i didnt push the bloke of his board

Does not surprise me, there's often a lot of bait fish in close there and just lately I've been seeing a few Little Penguins getting stuck into them very close to the takeoff zone.

yeah the where a couple fishing birds around
