If they were real surfers they'd already be running 2 + 1 setups and riding big boards how they were supposed to be ridden

take that back, they are real and they do surf

I'm not so sure mate - everytime I see them they are smoking and looking in the mirror (think about it )

oh, oh, i get it- mind like a steel trap- not.

There will be no swell, way too south. You'll have to head south of Byron if you want any of it in great quantities.

Looks like it will be huge down south.

I reckon maybe 4 foot once it wraps around the cape, it's got a lot of bending to get in here.

Was 5-8 metres at 10 sec here yesterday (Wed) - dead south swell combined with 30 - 35 knot southerlies - would have been insane for a DWer.

Backed off a bit this morning but supposed to thump in tomorrow. Big enough for a certain ledging Right hander that have only SUP ed once, hopefully

Check out the forecast for the next 4 days (the wave heights are the 'Iggy' scale not faces):

Hey Goatman I was watching the Manly ferry on the news you guys ever downwind in the harbour in those conditions???
I spent a few years on the North Shore in the mid 90's but have never seen anyone surf the Queeny bomie when its going off.
I always thought it would be a good sup wave would that be right???

Hey Squeeky, yeah guys surf the Queensie Bombie a fair bit - even a few SUPs. Haven't had a go myself, never seem to time it or there is somewhere else.

Some guys DW the harbour and Botany Bay but usually cause the wind is the wrong direction for the ocean. Yesterday would have been all time for an ocean DW I would have thought as southerly is our best wind plus the swell was dead south and huge - shame about work

it was pretty nice after lunch today
