Lack of Surf driving you crazy.

Feel like one the crew in Muppets Treasure Island when they hit the Doldrums.

If I don't get out on a wave soon I'm gonna crack up.

Anyone else affected?

Lack of surf is not currently a problem for me. Lack of surfing might be for the next few days :?

Currently got solid overhead, but very messy. Forecast to build through to a 12ft+ in the next 24 hours :shock:
Winds are howling though. Thursday / Friday is predicted to be surfable - but not by me, I'll leave it for the heroes and tow-in teams. :unuts:

Yup, if I get the chance, I'll be out on the headland with a camera feeling pathetic and inadequate :lol:

Last week 26+ degree water, 3-4ft solid swell day in day out & point breaks everywhere.

This week 14 degree water lake placid crap beachies.

Whats worse is I almost brought back a new longboard and didnt, so should have!
