Nearly

Nearly waves again this arvo. Still offshore but with a fair bit of south and BP Reef was so close to being surfable that its not funny any more. Little waves were breaking inside the inside suck up but rolling nicely with backlit lips and transparent blue faces. Only problems were all the fin loving rocks along the line.

The Weather Bureau are forecasting a heat wave in Perth this week. Apparently that means three days in a row over 35 degrees. If it happens it will be only the fourth time since they started counting. We won't be that hot but might hit 30.

Surfalert is forecasting a couple of kicks in the swell for the Yallingup area, one tomorrow and one on Thursday. The harbour buoy is already showing a quick rise since lunchtime and Naturaliste has climbed to over two metres. With offshore it would be a good day to call in sick and head south.

Big Swell

Huge jump in swell yesterday. Naturaliste hit just over 4 metres around six last night and is still at 3.6. Albany was even bigger.

Coastalwatch had photos of people hitting Cow Bombie.

Bunbury didn't really see much. There is a little blip up to about 0.7 and it is a 0.6 now. But the wind will be onshore all day.

Towner win big wave award in WA

A WA surfer may not have won the ASL Big Wave Award but a WA wave did. Big wave charger Laurie Towner has won for surfing Cow Bombie.

Hard to believe that there is surf like that anywhere if you'd been watching the ocean for the last few weeks.
