North Coast Board Riders - Winter Surf Classic

North Coast Board Riders - Winter Surf Classic

Well tomorrow is supposed to be the North Coast Board Riders - Winter Surf Classic!
But alas no waves!!! This morning was 1ft and not even breaking. The forecasts all show tomorrow as being dead flat. It is going to be interesting to see what happens?

On the diving front the water is brown from the rain and I cant see us diving for a few days. There is a west on Sunday with NO RAIN :-) and it should clean up for next week.

Other that the fact that it is Friday so we do have something to smile about.

See ya

Surf Web Cam

I got a surf web cam link sent to me, it was for the south coast and as usual the idea is great but I seldom find ones that are up to date and actually work.

I started another forum thread on Web Cams: Surf Web Cam Forum
If you cant see the page it might be because you are not logged in or have your browser security very high.

Here is the Web Cam at Shelly Beach ... it does not always update tho ... its not really live.



Well I don't have to tell you that the wind is blowing ...... flipp'n hard ..... did I mention it was cold.
The up side or down depends on if you surf or dive, is that the wind is not pushing too much swell with it. Hopefully it will send some Sards tho!

The Vis is not great and I suspect that there is some river water in the mix ... not good news at all.

Tomorrow should be a nice day ....

Cold fronts and the rain.

Cold rain kept me in bed this morning ... yes I am a woos!

Thee sea actually looked nice this morning, and as predicted all the swell was out t sea and there was very little swell to talk about. I could not see the viz but it looked clean ... but watch the river water! this it going to ruin our dry run. But my farmer mates are very stoked.

There is another south going to hit later on today or this evening. again there is a good possibility the swell passes us by and goes out to sea.

On a different subject altogether, on the salty Divers forum I have added a section on boats. I have noticed that guys are going to have a look .... but how about writing something down? Tell us what you think, if the boat sucks, stinks or is the bomb. If you have a different boat to what is listed there just start a new thread ..... thats unless you are comparing to the boat on that thread .... does that make sense?

Come on I know some of you have some great boats ..... Cox crafts and Trimcrafts to name a few. Lets hear about them.

Where is the Action?

The ACTION is down south!

The guys diving up here yesterday did not see a fish, while some guy down south ...I think at Umzumbi shot 9 or 10 cuta in 8m of water.

So head south if you have the time!!

There is a south west going to pump this arvo .... the good news is that it should drop in the night and turn off shore.
The better news is that the swell could possibly go out to sea and will not be a problem for diving.

So we might have a small window tomorrow morning with some more southerlies tomorrow arvo and some more diving on Thursday. I suppose it all depends on the swell. Wind Finder shows large swell, how ever my other tools show that there is no real depth to the swell and is mostly offshore.

Also please dont forget the DUC compo on the 14th July
