July
16th 2008 Shelly Point The
surf has gone off the boil at the moment. Although we
have had a few good surfs lately, the water temp has dropped
off now and the surf numbers has been depleted. The swells
have varied from north to south and the banks have been good
in a number of places.
NSW
& Queenland Recent trip. May 2008
Boulder Point - Just south of Lennox doing its stuff. It was picking
up more
swell than anywhere else.
Lennox it was cooking but a few bodies in the water.
Burleigh starting to come onshore later in the morning but still tubing.
The Pass at Byron, a lot out but a lot of waves coming through. Banks
are great
200 metre rides even when on 3 -4ft.
Inside the pass at Clarkes Beach - it just kept rolling and rolling,
legs were
tired from too many turns.
Surf
Video Report April 14th 2008 8.30am After a long spell of flat sea and almost no
swell we have some movement over the last couple of days with a north
east groundswell and some places are coming alive. the rivermouth at
scamander has showed some sign of revitalising from a long slumber.
The holoow has good banks and should be worth a look over the coming
week. The video below is the grid yesterday morning, some waves were
setting up but many closed out. The sand is a bit wrong but still surfable.

I have
not got much footage of recent surf events at the moment so I will leave
this stuff from January for the time being. That is not to say there
has been no surf because there has been some great moment. The problem
being I have been in the water instead of photo graphing. I am sure
you will all undersand my dilema. The banks have been great with shelly,
north shelly, rivermouth the hollow and redbill having a good share
of the waves. There are probably other spots that have been going off
as well. I will try to get a few rolls of film run off and get some
more recent shots soon.
Here is one of the bank at rivermouth on the 25th Feb 2008
It was excellent early but the sets just kept increasing in size. I
had a quick one early but had to catch a plane so I didn't get to see
waht happened in the afternoon.
Waves below are from Redbill in January 2008

About 6 guys out and plenty of waves to go around.
The wind came offshore and it just stood up and barked.
I don't know which waves were the best rights or lefts, it was just
going off.
Okay you go righty, I'll go left !
Thanks Bronnie, just couldn't get out of the water to take the photos.
We are looking forward to some more epic surf over the coming weeks
as the banks continue to get groomed by the northeast groundswells and
just get better and better. Have a good look around, there are waves
everywhere at the moment. That classic peak is just waiting for you
down some deserted bush track somewhere along the coast.
