Short sharpie

Twenty minutes and two waves before the sun went down. Juniors was cranking on the north swell.

It was really difficult to find the take off spot because it move sideways and in and out. That just meant you watched sweet waves detonating around you. Lots of unridden bombs because it was just me. Saw on right break at the back of the reef for a softish take off at head height, suck into a legitimate barrel section and the warp its way to the beach.

Just wished I'd gotten home earlier.

Here it comes again

Another front on the way tomorrow with damaging winds. Good job I didn't put the outdoor furniture back after the last one.

Bit of a pre-front northerly wave for those who were quick this afternoon. I saw a guy take a clean head height drop on what looked like the best peak in front of the surf club.

The sea and swell have both swung north west and are climbing rapidly.  The sea is 1.12 and the swell 0.73. The swell period has dropped four seconds since midday and is sitting on 10.

There are some weird blobs on the Stormsurf wave models for the next week or so. It has a 30 foot swell hitting Marges in 72 hours with Perth getting 18 - 20. Forty seven feet of swell is passing the south coast. There are then two follow up 15 to 20 foot swells in the following few days

The models can be a bit funky and this is super unusual

WEATHER SITUATION
A cold front moving over the area during Tuesday is likely to cause WIDESPREAD
DAMAGING WINDS to 100 kilometres per hour that could result in DAMAGE TO HOMES
AND PROPERTY. In isolated areas DANGEROUS GUSTS in excess of 125 kilometres per
hour could cause SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO HOMES AND PROPERTY.
DAMAGING winds are likely to develop about the Capes early on Tuesday morning
and extend to remaining parts later in the morning. Thunderstorms are also
possible.

Higher than normal tides may result in flooding of low-lying coastal areas in
the Geographe Bay area, including Busselton and Dunsborough, on Tuesday morning.

This is typical weather for this time of year.

Hurry

Just got wet walking the dogs but the plus is the sideways motion at BP. Its flukey but looks like some clean NE corners if you can get the right one. Only three booger grooms out.

The groyne looks ok and so does some of the peaks on the beachie.

It is super clean and glassy but the rain has set in already and the forecast is for 30/40 knot winds with 50 knot squalls by early afternoon as a big low moves in.

If you want to get wet now is probably the only time in the next few days as the bad weather is here to stay.

Sideways

Few nice looking 45 degree waves today with the continuing northerlies. Whippies seemed to be the best but peaks were everywhere and a bit of a moving feast.

I didn't get out there and it looks like the boards might stay dry for a while. Tomorrow could go either way with strong north easterly winds forecast. It could throw up some more wedges or just be to messy or push past. Keep an eye on it.

0.57 @ 12 but with north westerly seas at 0.75.

Fibber

Even as I wrote the post this morning I had just a sneaking suspicion that the northerly might bring some sideways action this afternoon. And it sort of did.

I got a few fun ones at BP Groyne late this afternoon. They were pretty small but fun. There was a plenty of wall but the wind swell was pretty gutless. The glassy conditions and the clear water made it a little hard to see down the line at times !

I didn't deliberately lie but I did get it to myself !

Same-ish

A little smaller and a bit messier than yesterday but there are still plenty of north swell waves pumping through along the back beach. Size is down a foot but there is still plenty of those sneaker sets around head height and as a bonus the sun is shining so the air isn't freezing cold.

Windy

Strong NE winds are still blowing making some surfable by difficult conditions locally. The surfclub/clam area is the pick and BP is blown out.

Not as clean as yesterday but still some nice waves if you can avoid the frustration and the drainers.

Did you get some ?

Down the south end of the Surf Club beach just before the Clam was the pick but there were plenty of corners everywhere. BP Groyne had some wide of the rocks and there was a little bank at BP with a few out as well.

The photos are off my phone and with the low light not the best quality but good enough for the web.

Get out there

Northerly wind swell and glassy conditions have been happening all day. The Surf Club and surrounds has shoulder height sets rolling through at 45 degrees to the beach.

The crowd has been really small but has built considerably since school finished and with those on POETS day.
