Nice southerly's to start the week off, with some good ground swell.

Hopefully we'll get some Nor-east condition off the back of this.

Sweeeeeet

See you all there

lol.

Forget the Seabreeze forecast, just got this from the legend John Smythe...




Good pre comp sou'easter om Wednesday will be good for kiting and sailing the bar…but you're not allowed to practice.

South swell for the Wednesday with enough to start the event on Thursday with head high waves and light nor'east cranking bear- aways. Swell dropping off a bit on Friday with stronger blasting nor'east

Greta waves for SUP s both mornings but mind your manners at the early at the Bar as it will be the first head high the locals have seen for months and they'll be thirsty…..

There will be some crankers on Main Beach to keep SUP s busy also.

By Saturday I'll be over it so couldn't give a hoot……………………….but it will blow and there'll still be smaller clean waves on the open beaches for the earlies…maybe try spot X again for SUP s if they can get Steve P to show the way again…….

Other good news is the ocean has warmed to a balmy 18C which feels like the tropics after 12 to 14C water for some time and the whales have all gone south.

Apart from that the BBQ will crank six foot and offshore all day every day…coffee will be running hot off the barista,with homer made cakies for the early and the Corona tent will go off for the happy hour from noon till 6

And that's just the day time stuff

Shame it supposed to be a Nor East swell, but then I am just jealous as well.

I reckon the pies at Bruthen are best.

Had my regulation 2 x Steak 'n' Kidney en-route to Merimbula. Great!

At Merimbula now, had a 90 min session on the bar on the raceboards and swilling a coldie!

Nope, I ate 1 at Bruthen, then contemplated another one.....so strolled back in and grabbed another!

And I'll have 2 more on the return trip next Monday week.

Fun little waist high glassy waves today.. Wearing boardies I surfed for hours and having a nana nap now before tonight's BBQ and Ross has gone out for more waves.. No crowds .. About 8 of us out and after a couple of hours and dozens of waves I paddled over to the Pambula river mouth where there were about another 8 sup'ers out riding fun waves running up into Pambula river.. Great first day.

That's a pity Dan. Was looking forward to catching up. Anyway, you're not missing anything today - flat as. Time to try to get rid of some of the winter gut and go for a long flat water paddle.

If you are down in Vicco again we'll put you onto some lefts like last time. I can't copy the pic, but if you go to Cam Hosking's Facebook page you will see a snap he took of Spot X last Thursday. He and Mike had it virtually to themselves for four hours.

No boardies over wettie needed because the water is so warm.. It's been just boardies every day.. Today we did a great paddle along the other side of Pambula river mouth and checked out all the little beaches.. We had fun surfing some fun little waves along the way.. Took some pics that I can't post from my phone.. I've got my comp T shirt already and it looks great.
