Thusday the go???

[northathegoldy]

Every day since saturday, been hoping for that rise in swell........and everyday they say tommorrow...........huey we need this, like the farmers need rain

[thermalben]

Yeah, it's been a really tricky system NOTG. Wish the outlook was better for tomorrow (I got two new boards that need to be ridden, dammit!), but late Wed/Thurs is looking pretty reasonable at this stage.

Yeah Ron, i reckon we could be in for a cracker!!! Mates and I have got bets on what the cyclone count will be this year.. I'm picking 4 so hope I either win it or am knocked out in early march and the count keeps going higher.

[Ezza]

3-4 foot at surfers so stoked to have swell yeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[exbunobooga]

definately going the dawny tomorow, been so long im getting anxious

[Fisheye]

im definetly hitting up strad tommorow. Couldnt be bothered it its going to be onshore, points and dbah will be packed. Gonna be low-tide at about 3:30am so if ur in the water real early im guessing it will be heavy.

[Booger]

Straddie will be as packed as anywhere. It will be ultra crowded.

[exbunobooga]

well wasnt that a let down. checked out burlz point and a local beachy. Was about 2ft max and not barreling, point was packed for its size. Would of been fun on a stick though

[thermalben]

2ft max and not barrelling? You mustn't have waited around long. Set waves are still 3-4' at Miami (overhead), and in stark contrast to yesterday there's actually some kegs out the back (looks like the sand's shifted around a lot). Certainly a long way from epic, but plenty of fun waves if you're keen.

[exbunobooga]

I was expecting you to write a message here ben :D After checking out the point I looked at a few guys at a beachy but they were just padeling around. I almost went out (now that I think of it I should of anyway doh') but it seemed very small and not fun at all on a lid, the surfboard was at home and I didnt have time to drive everywhere.


Maybe im just getting slack, is it too much to ask for 6ft perfect peaks lining up the coast?

[thermalben]

At this time of the year - yes, you're asking for much more than the Qld coast normally delivers. I guarantee you'll be cursing in two weeks time if we go through another spell of tiny waves and NE'ers.

As far as size is concerned, I had a 5min window where the drizzle cleared, so I quickly took a couple of shots (although photography conditions were shocking). Four or five sets came through in the five minutes I was there, and this wave is about average. One set came through that was a touch bigger, but no-one caught it (as it was, there were only 7 guys out, and most of them couldn't surf very well).

Farrk tommorow should be off the hook. Will it stick around?
