Secrets
Few local rare spots including a new one firing today. The wall would be okay if you cold get there.

Big Swell
Big swell hitting at the moment and with some decent conditions. Best spot this afternoon was sidewash with some decent head height plus waves rolling thorough.
Its not often that the harbour buoy is over 1 metre and surfable but today is one of those days. It looks like the swell will hang for a day or so and the conditions should hold as well. If you have the time head down south.
Swell - 1.06 m at 12

Finally Finals
The event that seems to have gone on forever has to finish tonight. Yesterday they ran three rounds in waves that look good in the video but were disgusting. If they weren't made to surf them I doubt anyone would have bothered. Still they were better than the onshore storm slop of the day before that round 3 was forced into.
As usual Rio and more widely Brazil has been a massive flop. The women had there whole contest run in 2 foot closeouts where two moves got you a 7 and three 9 but at least it was offshore. The men have had size but thats about it.
Taj and Yadin are out. Taj scored two 9 in non-elimination round 4 but got stung with an interference. This meant Slater in round 5 and the exit door. He now has a few knuckle marks in his Mayhem (watch the video)
The video shows just how great some of these surfers are and how good some of the lower ranked surfers are in crap when they can do airs on and aren't expected to do proper turns. Watch for the Superman, Slater and Jordy.

Chopes
There had been some movement amongst the big wave movement on Twitter the last few days with people like Laird Hamilton and Maya Gabeira tweeting from airports. The results have been slowly coming through on the net.
This video is ten minutes of pretty raw footage which shows the swell build and the crowd drop. The others are shorter

Weather
Very dark over the horizon, Busselton and the Cape. On the radar Bunbury is in a bit of a clear hole for now but the wind suggests that we might get rained on soon.
The tide is really high, lapping at the dunes around Juniors and the wind from the NW. There is the some sideways wave action but it would be hard to catch and pretty shifty. If you're keen and quick you could probably pick up the odd one but it will be hard work.
Swell - 0.36 @ 13
Sea - north 0.90
Wind - NNE 12-20 kmh

Sorry
Been really slack keeping the blog up to date in the last few months. I've found Twitter and it is so much more convenient for those quick updates. I won't lie and say that I'll try harder to post but rest assured I haven't abandoned the blog.
I hope you were nice to your mother today because there could be some waves tomorrow. The blow earlier in the week has pushed some sand around and there looks to be the odd gutter here and there. BP Groyne has some of the summer sand washed away and there was just the glimmer of a shape there this afternoon.
The water will probably still be brown and there is plenty of weed around as well. I had a SUP at Fraggles this afternoon, catching a couple of waves to make a very inconsistent and difficult session worth it. However the short dump was pretty ferocious and thick with weed. Needless to say I had to duck under a triple up and came out looking like something from a horror movies. There were even things swimming in the water left in the hand well of my SUP !
The swell is dropping but is still around 0.55. It might not be big tomorrow but its a bit hard to tell how much the onshore today was blowing down the waves.

Slow Sunday
There is some swell but the tide is a bit full. It is dropping but the wind is picking up with lots of south in it.
If you go out you might jag one here and there. The crowd is up and down, peaking at about 30 at the worst time for waves.
I used the SUP and caught a few waves at Barnacles. It isn't often that the tide is high enough that the risk to your fins is low enough to bother.
0.44 @ 12. Wind SSE 17-26 kph

Dawn
Some swell hanging around on a decent tide and glassy conditions. If you can get out soon you should jag the odd one at Juniors and very rare one off the reef. Barnacles is super sucky on the take off but running through to the beach due to some recent sand movement. All you groms on school holidays should try there.
Magic sunrise this morning with the ocean pink and the other side bright yellow.

Runs
The best run of swell that I can remember in ages. Its dropping now but could still be ok tomorrow. Not only was the swell strong but it was warm and mostly offshore as well. The only problem was the crowds and their lack of understanding of surfing etiquette, especially "one surfer per wave". At 6.30 this morning there was 15 out at BP Reef and at 4.30 this arvo the whole BP carpark was full, with a steady 30 in the water. When one got out another got in. And it has been like that for every daylight minute since Saturday morning.
This has kept me out of the water a bit over the period but I had to get wet this afternoon. Despite sitting deep and dangerous on the reef at Juniors I caught six waves and got drop in on twice. To rub it in both failed to make the drop (they never were going to make it), causing me to straighten out straight at the rocks. And it wasn't a case of us being next to each other, I had been up and riding and about to hit their section when they paddled in. One was actually trying to go left while I was riding at him ???? To rub it in one booger sat inside me and called me out of a wave he was too deep for and then stopped paddling !!!!
The proper take offs for the three breaks are shallow, sucky and very small. You can't straighten out because the reef in front of you is less than fin deep. The drop in kooks are safe on the shoulder. If I didn't care about my boards I would just run them over.
Unlike a couple of older guys at BP Reef who hog every wave despite not being greatly skilled, I only catch a small number of waves. I'm picky on which one I want and like to day generally let the first wave of the set go through. If you've waited your turn regardless of how long since my last wave, the next set is yours (just don't screw it up). The guys dropping in on me today probably got 25 waves each in the time I got 6 but still they wanted the ones I was on. I love surfing but just can't deal with this lack of awareness and manners.
My simple message -
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SKILL TO SIT INSIDE, GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THOSE WHO DO

Go now !
Lots of waves around. BP Reef and Barnacles are cranking with a solid swell and strong offshore winds. Nice tide but some shallow takes offs. It's too big for Juniors and the beachies are just shore dumpers.

Arvo glass
The swell is picking up and the winds offshore. BP Reef has some nice lefts and Juniors has some now and there.
I won't tell you its classic because its not. Its ok if you have nothing to do or are hanging in out for a wave (like me). If you are a grom, get on it. Theres been groms out all morning and they are loving it.

Nice
Morning but no surf again.
If you're still off it might be worth a run down south right now or watch Bells instead. Taj is into the semi finals in a few minutes against rookie Nat Young. If Taj wins the final he'll take the number 1 spot on the 2013 ratings.

Bells on
Bells is on with round two for the men in double overhead surf. Taj is through to round three after beating WA grom Jacob Wilcox.
The call at the moment is for the women's final around lunchtime Victorian time. Both Tyler Wright and Carissa Moore have been smashing it all event. Carissa had a 10 in her first heat and has been the stand out. The big swell will suit her but Tyler already has an event win. Should be good.
As usual it's on Fuel TV and online.

Nearly
It's been a nearly surf week. There has nearly been surfable waves all week but I still haven't got wet.
Today is no different. There is a little swell but no banks. It is inconsistent and the wind could swing at any time. I might have to check again before writing the day off surf-wise.

Prediction fails
The forecast swell never seemed to have arrived, mainly due to the southerly direction. It did hit over three metres at Naturaliste yesterday but the Cape is keeping it from us.
At the moment it is to small to surf and the tide is a bit low anyway.
My other predictions were for the Quikie Pro. They weren't much better. Josh Kerr went out early and Taj in the quarters. Both Mick and Parko are still kicking. The finals need to be run today as it is the end of the waiting period. Marges starts this weekend but the tour surfers don't need to be here for a few days.

Round Four
Taj, Fanning, Slater and Julian Wilson have all won their round four heats at the Quikie Pro and are straight through to the quarter finals.
The waves were short for Snapper Rocks but clean and rippable. The rumour is that there is a swell coming from a passing cyclone and the finals might be run in rifle speed tubes at Kirra.

Sidewinders
Strong southerly this afternoon pushed some little 45 degree wedges towards the beach. As usual with that angle the looked good but were both impossible to catch and with impossible wonks and sections in them. However two bodyboard groms at Juniors were frothing and getting all the best waves.
Off the back beach two clubbies were having a ball catching runners on their surf skis. Would have been a bastard paddling into the wind but fun linking green waves back.
Wednesday and Thursday both look promising on the forecast. The southerlies might have even blown in a little bank or two.
The harbour buoy is out of service again. Judging by the excuses for closing the path to the Bay the BPA will probably that they aren't preventing anyone from getting the swell reading they just need their own buoy.

Betting
Got asked today by a guy with some money to bet for his betting club who to put the cash on the win the Quikie Pro. My answer Taj (at $11) or Josh Kerr (at $26).
Taj is the defending champ and has won four times (in the Quikie and QS Breaka) at Snapper over the last couple of years. Surely he has to catch a break and win a world title soon.
Kerr is the total package and now has a wiser head. If the waves are at Kirra you can write off all the goofies and the power face surfers so Kerr will come into his own.
There's some pretty good odds, even the favourite Kelly Slater is paying $5.50. I think Fanning is a bit over rated at $7 and the third line of betting. Jordy Smith at $10 is strange. Its been a few years since he was on his game and he's never won here. Seabass Zeitz is $41 in his first world tour event above people like Michel Bourez, Bede Durbrige and both Hopgoods, all people with wins and years of experience on the world tour ?
I'm sure I have jinxed my picks but what can you do.

Back
Back from my trip away. Nothing much to write about locally. There were some desperadoes out this afternoon in chunky but marginal surf. However good surfers can overcome poor conditions with three guys getting some decent moves in the slop. A few landed airs, big reos and odd 360.
Unfortunately for two blokes it was quite hard to get out and despite their best efforts they didn't make it. There was a lot of water moving around, strange tide and lots of rocks so there was no loss of pride from missing out.
