We sort of had wind here, it got to the reef and stopped, waited most of the arvo for it to come to shore, but eventually it just went out again.

How strange is that?
Rider would be cut about that!
Today in Perth it was offshore all day. Rotto had some good winds according to the graphs. And if you would have done the 1 hour drive north you would have scored wind and waves.
Bargain.
Glad you finally got what you wanted Spot

How amazing is it. Hanging on to 4.5m at Lancelin while friends are leaving massages saying it's offshore in Perth. What a difference a hours drive makes.
Inside section at Mainbreak is alot of fun when the swell gets big.

Should have been at margies, Saturday had solid mast and a half sets with 20 knots crossshore all arvo, going SE late arvo Didn't get to stay for today but my guess, it would have been even better!

That looks pretty sick. I sailed Gerroa bombie yesterday. 3/4 mast and 20 knots. It was pretty awesome too. No photos though.

I think its just the reef, pretty sure no one was swimming in this photo, a few swims were had though

I dont think its the reef. The tide looks high and even on a low tide the reef doesnt stick out like that on the inside.
The second circle looks like a rig and you can kinda make out the boom and harness lines?
Yes/No?
Or am I on drugs again

Yeah I'll go along with that, sure looks like a board & sail, but the head is just a dot, could be anything, but a head is most likely.

How do you enlarge it Mins?
Spot1 I too am no local there but the reef just doesnt have a round, head shaped, rock, like, bit, sticking out of the water on the inside. It looks high tide and there obviously is alot of water moving over the reef. I dont recall seeing rocks sticking out of the water like that at Main Break?
