Ok guys. Well here it is. Wanna talk whats going down in the sunshine state. well here it is. (first off its snowing in some areas)

Nice start mate,

The "Get Fed and Shred" day sounds like a great idea and awsome opportunity to meet some new people and see some of the local talant around.

cheers for the links aswell was exactly what i needed.

This is a txt report near shore. buttt ive looked on the cams n looks like mush n no where near that size

??? ay??
Where is that from??
Are you sure the first two numbers means wave height?? i.e 3-6ft ?? That doesn't sound right considering coastal says 1-2 ft ?? They can't both be right. As i said in Slog it was very windy and messy this arvo I was thinking it would be like that all weekend? Hmmm either way i can't make a surf this weekend very busy next fri and sat though hoprfully it shoudl be good!!

Its of bouyweather. txt nearshore. im still a lil confused about the size there. cause as i look swellnet n coastal watch it says alot smaller. But saying this buoyweather is supposed to be the most accurate around. BUTTTT im finding it hard to beleive its that size.

Although a mate went strad yesterday and said it was going off solid 4ft. Ill find out when I get down there this arvo. staying down untill tomorrow arvo as well. So ill be down in the morning.

Also trevi. ill give u a txt. see where your heading. Im hoping there is some swell. but im finding it hard to beleive.

by **guymurphy101** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 4:51 pm

trevi- digging the shots man. especially the first and last one. the first photo would be a perfect wave for me. not too big and a nice hollow barrel....yuuuummmyyy!!!
are the cars in the last shot yours? if so, then nice cars! and loving that sunset as well

by **trevi** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 6:15 pm

The car is my new one.. got it Thursday.... all set for road trips now....
