Hi mc,
You need to go up north in September Oct. Most crew head to Gnaraloo or Exmouth. Anywhere between Carnarvon and Exmouth should be pretty good. Should score some mondo swell at that time too, anywhere between 3 and 5 metres at places like Gnaraloo and other more secret breaks

can easily get mast to mast and a half high in the old Poley scale. Maybe even bigger

And no, Gnaraloo is no longer a secret location and hasn't been for years. Usually friggen packed with the hordes, especially in school holidays

Have a good trip and bring good medical supplies! Practice suturing open wounds without anaesthetic
