The Drive
How many of you have done the “drive to Palmy and check every beach and end up driving back and surfing Manly” trip? Happens a lot in south swells and almost happened this morning but lucky we hardened up and chose a beach to get wet. Similar conditions all the way up with 3ft of […]
Air.
I came across a tow-in who managed to get his surfer into a few little sections. 2 foot E swell with a fairly breezy NNE wind. Very short period bump at open beaches. Enjoy your weekend. Surf Photos of You.
4 – 6 foot Snapper
Conditions have improved up here at Snapper Rocks. The swell has increase to about 6’+ sets and the wind has more south in it making it cleaner. This also brought out the crowd and I reckon there around 200 surfers out. But still there are plenty of waves. Enjoy Surf Photos of You
Snapper 4 – 5 foot
Although it is not lining up Snapper is about 4 – 5 foot with some nice little sections. Wind still out of the E and the tide was low early. Water has cleaned up and there is not as much storm water. The weather has cleared and there were some sunny periods in which to […]
Grey Snapper
The surfing conditions have deteriorated with the strong E wind making the surf very messy. But this is insignificant to what is happening here in SE Queensland. Massive flooding and loss of Life………Surf Photos of You.
1000 waves at Snapper
As its my wedding anniversay I decided to take my wife for a break to Cooly. Although the wind is similar along the east coast of OZ, Snapper is about head high and they just kept coming in. There are a few little sections to be enjoyed and the usual Gold Coast/Tweed crowd were getting […]
On Surfari: heading home day & one last sesh
Hello Friends, Slept under the stars last night at Crescent Head (thanks Timbo!) and once again the noise from the beach convinced us that the swell was picking up. It’d been awful small when we checked Scotts Head on the way south yesterday afternoon (no sand in the corner, so the joint needs some serious […]
On Surfari: Arrawarra on a Saturday morning
Hello Friends, Well, I didn’t expect to be surfing Arrawarra this morning, but due to a mixup with bookings, we were given the bum’s rush from Broken Head yesterday. So, we fled south to lovely Coffs Harbour to seek a roof over our heads for the evening. Before we left though we spent a couple […]
Sometimes you win, sometimes…
Hello Friends, Ensconced in the lovely Broken Head caravan park (where they have wi-fi, woohoo), we are now hoping against all reason that there will be waves some place in the Ballina-Byron region tomorrow. The day started with a beautiful morning in Crescent Head after kipping out in friend Tim’s parents’ holiday batch backyard. Full […]
Postcard from Boomerang
To be filed under really annoying messages from friends who could go on surfari when you couldn’t… Mid North Coast tally ho!: The ENE swell continues to hang in there. We just surfed a left for a couple of hours in the Boomerang Beach area (near an iconic headland and an easy paddle out). Very […]
