Good fun waves up north of usual northern haunt, waste to chest

Good call again mocha1 but i thought it would have been bigger, in saying that I thought it would have been bigger here too.

Smaller than expected in the South too...at least we're almost through the swell drought

Checked my local haunts offshore today hoping for a wave, the cyclonic easterly this morning blew any little piece of swell we had to pieces.
managed to bag a quick fish

Nice Pinky, best eating size too!

can anyone tell me what the current state of play is with the Derrs track? Best point of access? I know the politically correct answer so don't need the standard line. PM would be nice

Finally got waves today after a long spell yeeeewwwl.............back is killing me, arms fallen off, ribs sore......old age just gotta suck it up

Couldn't get out of town today due to lunch family stuff.
the point had a least 100 people out and by at least I counted at least 75-80 with more running down. Checked thirds one bank with 50-60 drop ins snaking and poor behaviour..... bought a coffee cake home, those that get out of town today will score....... I know where I'd be if I could

Photographic GOLD. You shot the only wave without a drop in.
Edit: I think upon closer inspection, he may have dropped in.

Any more pics Nathan? I was expecting to be able to find a heap, but the ones I have seen have not shown Trigg 2nds firing.

I recon I took easy 180 pics, got home after a surf to have a look no memory card

I've got two DSLR bodies that are the same and grabbed the wrong one, needless to say I wasn't happy lol.......

BTW the pic is of the arvo about 2.30pm.

I got nothing was hoping that everyone would be out of town but the Trigg to scarb stretch was busy busy busy...........

^^^
I drove around looking for 90min after seeing the crowd at Trigg - ended up South of the rocks at Trigg 3rds and it was poo... just back-washed close-outs... worse is that I tweaked my right shoulder pulling back hard last second on a king-closeout that 15 seconds beforehand I had delusions of taking...

I'm glad I got out of Kansas! Unfettered B grade waves? I'll take that over Triggs madness!

How empty were the beaches today, kiddies? Devoid of both humans and waves...

LBB at 9:00am howling Easterly... about 30-40 out, but spread along the usual stretch. About waist high average - occasional shoulder high peak. Hard to get even on the mal with that wind blowing you back. Wind eased at about 11:00am and strangely so did the crowd, so I stuck it out until 12:30pm and managed to get a bag full of small clean lefts... nothing too serious, just fun in the sun... three cops and a multinova on the way back - check your speed people - they are out in force for double demerits!!

So close to doing the drive but didn't.

Did the drive further north, was ok but the banks sus. Crowd not bad got a couple to make it worth the drive.
Got breath tested at RBT in Wanneroo.....all good
didnt see the camera.....hope all good

time for a rant

dropping the speed to 100 means folks travel at 80-90 but find the xtra Ks in the overtaking lanes..... a boon for the revenue boys when cameras are in the f$&$%^g overtaking zones!!!!

another rant

Its now April Huey.......I'm watching you!!
hopefully Lombok proves to be as good as it has been for the last 5 trips........10 days and counting

Agree with both rants - I had people doing 90km, then find the accelerator in the O/T lanes!

And yes - it's APRIL FFS - one of my regular Winter spots is like a kiddy beach ATM... it usually starts working in March...

Headed south and east. Scored great waves on Friday. Super fun but sadly very paddle un fit

Had a blast took our boat and enjoyed ourselves. My rant though is why, when im towing a boat, do i need to continually overtake idiots doing 80

On the freeway in a 100 zone

Yeah annoying we get it here too with cars sitting side by side blocking 2 lanes doing under the limit. Last weekend was bad, heaps of blowins with their 4WD's loaded up with boards & bikes or extra wide side mirrors driving under the limit in both lanes coz of the double demerits while I was trying to get to work

On the bright side, fun waves today while everyone was back at work

Most of it was on country roads, 110 km an hour. I could legally only do 100 but when cars were struggling to climb hills its just pathetic.

Surfed again tonight at Aloha, Really good fun TBH..

So took a punt and headed out to my favourite local. Swell not quite doing it at a metre, it was odd as when I got home checked trig and it was breaking at waist height + at the point?????
anyway as it was pretty (flat) small I went and had a bit of a zip around in the boat.
For the David Attenborough lovers there were huge schools of sardines everywhere.
Anyway I was cruising along like a scene out of Miami vice ( that's how I drive my boat) and out the corner off my eye a large orange slick was on the surface, we slowed right down and there were millions (possibly billions I'm not a good counter) of little plankton just smashing the orange/red foam like the water was teeming.
The orange stuff is coral spawn and every critter was feasting hard on it.
It only spawns once a year (or two) and divers set timers and fly around the world to see the spectacle.
i was pretty stoked, took the opportunity to cruise around and mark some lumps.
It was hectic, photos don't give it credit but I took a couple off my phone.

That means the big boys have heard the alarm ringing too.

Is it too early to get excited about next weekend's forecast today?
