I don't want to go to work !

I just want to sit inside and watch Bells. Round one has finished and Taj is in the water in his second round heat. He has already racked up a high eight on his first wave in the first few minutes.

The waves are clean and offshore but can be a little difficult to surf. Which is the opposite of here where it is massive and onshore. The six metre swell is already showing on the Naturaliste Buoy and still rising. Locally its 1.19 which is massive for the channel.

There will be waves on the Dunsborough side of the cape and it will help set some banks. However with the recent shark attacks and sightings many people will be a bit reluctant to venture out.

It looks like a few have been out at the Wall over the last couple of days and I although I haven't looked myself I suspect that it might have been ok. It would depend a little on the sand.

Surf : Big
Swell : 1.19 at 15 seconds
Wind : howling WNW
Quality : zip
Desperation level : as big as the swell
Recommendation : watch Bells on FuelTV or go to work/school

Finally got the Yahoo Kelvinator wet but only just.

There is a building swell showing this afternoon but the combination of the onshore winds and the sand from no waves for a few weeks made it unsurfable.

I tried in vain to find a corner but it was basically shore dumpers. I did get to my feet for nano seconds on three waves but that was it.

The forecast is for a swell building to three metres by strongish onshores as well. Naturaliste is already up to 2.5 and climbing. I can hear the wind and waves through my window but it's not sounding good.

Glimmer of hope for a Sunday LAGO.
