The sun is out, its 30 degrees out of the water, 25 degrees in the water...


...AND IT'S BEEN FLAT ALL WEEK

[BaNZ]

And full of sharks?

It's been flat at my beach too. But I did repair my board so it's ready to go.

Double underhead here on this end of the east coast too!

At least you are near blue water. All the water out my way (inland) is brown.

There was one brief blip of surf last week, but I could only get out when it was at its biggest and wildest and I didn't have a great session. Other than that it's been tiny for the last month, and absolutely flat today!


...but, yes, at least the water is blue!

You live in Australia and it is flat? I just can't believe it. I thought it is perfect glassy waves 365 days of the year.

Nope

Down in Sydney, the surf was always pretty consistent - there'd usually only be a day or two before some swell arrived. But up in Queensland, which isn't so exposed to the south swells, there are plenty of days to weeks of small swells, and then the occasional genuinely flat spell.
When the surf's here, it's great, but flat is flat wherever you are!

Day 21: The surf is still flat. We've eaten the dogs, and I fear the sherpas may be next.

It's always flat when I have time to surf, and 2-4 feet with no wind when I'm at work.

Surf is up here now but I have 2 days till my scheduled surf session

[drowningbitbybit]

I don't need to look at the surf forecast anymore, I just look at my work diary

[oldmansurfer]

Yeah DBB that's me I only have this time that I allotted to surfing and the rest is work either at the job or at home. I guess fortunately for me there is usually some surf always due to tradewinds creating a wind swell but right now it's well overhead. This is why I like this site, it keeps me going till I can surf

Nothing like a bit of vicarious armchair surfing!

Unbelievably dull drive though...

Day 68...
Ooh, a change on the horizon! Granted a wet and windy messy surfed change, but some actual surf coming our way!
A big onshore mess wouldn't usually get a but in this case it's justified.

[oldmansurfer]

I am not going to post about the surf at my beach because I don't want to make you jealous.........hahaha are you jealous? I will say that I was thinking about which wetsuit to wear but then I realized I don't have any wetsuits. Naw I am just kidding. The sun was out though
