Today

Key words today Messy whitewater from way out.  Not even pretty to look at. The Low is slowly starting to move away but today is not a day for the beach.  Needs a day or so to calm down. 3-4 metres offshore East South East 12 second, around 2 metres on beaches. Water quality dirty. […]

Surf report

Postcard from Byron Update on yesterday. .wind eased a bit but was still strong. Lots of sand at The Pass..none at Wategos which is not breaking even in this swell. Caught 4 waves in 2 hours..two good ones. ..with the wind, the crowd and the surge making it hard work. Long paddles, constant paddling, long […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Another quick one cause I’m still on the road.. That Low/s off the coast has been blowing long and hard and is still pushing large swell up the coast, which is really only rideable at the best South swell spots…and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been at three of them…Six straight days of point […]

Do you care? Of course you do.You’re […]

Burgery and wind-blown so you gotta be super keen

Hello Friends, At 0700 the wind was 15-20 kts from the SE. Skies were overcast and from the look of the cams, even protected corners were looking sloppy and torn up. Size at exposed spots should be easy head high on sets. Swell’s gone more SE and as of midnight average period was in the […]
