Don't complain - after weeks of easterlies, and hence no waves, we've finally got some westerlies! :D

Blown to bits at the moment, but just sit tight and the wind will drop :D

Just waiting for the right moment... call it 'anticipation' :wink:

It's a nightmare trying to paddle out there in big or blown out surf... so dont go there! Plenty of spots about that will have a little more shelter offering a more manageable and cleaner wave. Look for the spots which are often flat when gennith is firing.

ye, good idea. Gennith is the place you dont want to be when its like this, 6ft messy will just drown you instantly. It would be good to go somewhere else like caswell maybe or some beginner beach which might be alright today. Thanks

So anyway Laguna.... Like I said Go on the North coasts of the pensulars looking for north and north east facing coves, points etc.. and on the south coasts look for south to east facing spots.
Pleanty around... (like over 100) and you'll have some crackers! The wedges is working all week now thats fun!
