Weekend Editor’s picks 25-26 Oct 08

More link love with (barely) worthy cam links for Sunday from coastalwatch and swellnet, one from NZ, more tomorrow too in CA. Boardbag airline charges round up, Santa Barbara surf pics, daylight map,

Okay kids, what have we found for you this weekend? Well, the message from the wonderful world of cams is that it’s Sunday, it must be marginal. What a sorry collection we have. Just nothin’ much goin’ on. Coastalwatch’s Duranbah cam gets a guernsey for most interesting of the Qld options – again. CW’s best NSW cam seemed to be up at Lennox which looks small and windblown, but could have some fun ones out on the reefs… maybe…  and Swellnet.com’s most interesting NSW offering was their Coffs Harbour cam. Neither CW nor Swellnet seemed able to detect anything of interest in Vic, and about the only thing going on in WA, was visible on the CW Margs cam. Might be worth heading across the ditch to Waihi beach in NZ where the latest snap from surfcams.co.nz. Lookin’ damn small though it has to be said.

Here are a couple to check tomorrow morning when the Daylight map shows the sun reaching them again. Waves at da ‘bu in California where they have a little chest high swell. The coldwater classic is on again in Santa Cruz California and they’ve had heaps of good waves the lucky pups. Plus there should be more tomorrow too. You can see it on this cam (assuming the fog isn’t in!).

Are you heading overseas? Check out this handy table of boardbag charges pulled together by the mighty Surfline.

Every now and then I’m going to indulge myself by highlighting a link from the land where I learnt to surf. Callie Bowdish has created a bit of a collection of shots from around Santa Barbara from Jalama in the far north to Rincon in the south.

Need some food for your brain? Check out the website for one of the world’s great surf mags. The Surfers Path has hours of content to look at and it’s all wrapped in a clean design too. Oh, and if you’re an RSS feeds fan, you can add this one to your collection in the usual way.

Okay, gotta finish up with a vid. Got onto this one via the New York Surf film festival site. It’s from a movie devoted to NYC surfing.
