Massive


A proper winter front has been battering us all day and half of last night. The swell is huge, hitting nearly seven metres at Naturaliste and over two in the harbour. This makes it pretty much the biggest swell this year and with more bad weather to come it could kick up more.


Swellnet.com.au is predicting 15 foot plus at Marges for the next three days but the gale force winds will stop the crazies.


The Wall was the only place surfable this afternoon and had attracted a good crowd. There was a mix of stand up and body boarder, groms and grown ups. The size was around head height on the take off for the sets and one guy was linking from way out the back.

Watch some of the action. Left the better camera at home so you'll have to excuse the quality.

Danger Will Robinson

Only one word to describe it - HUGE.



We have been in between fronts for most of the day but with another severe weather warning just released the next bashing is not far away.

The ocean is a monster with waves peaking and breaking further out than you are likely to see the other 364 days a year.





This morning saw two guys out at the Wall. It was very messy and the peak shifted everywhere. The only got two each in about 30 minutes of paddling and duck diving. It was too bad for the Saturday board board crew who, despite being suited up, walked, looked and walked back. They didn't go back dry as the waves were breaking over the rockwall and spraying the footpath (and it was raining).



Looks as bad tomorrow. Hopefully Fuel TV is back to the Sunday Session and not Ultimate Fighter.
