NORTH COAST SURF REPORT 25-07-08
“A bad day in the surf is always better than a good day at work” they say. The past few days on the North Coast have thrown up a challenge to that theory, with top daytime temps around the 15 degree mark, squally 15 to 20 knot SE winds combining with 1.5 to 2 metres of messy surf meaning only the super keen were out amongst it.
Today’s footage, taken at Park Beach Coffs Harbour around 2pm, was shortly after a nice south westerly wind had kicked in, substantially cleaning up conditions and producing some decent surf for those knocking off early for the day. About half a dozen guys were on hand enjoying the 1.5 to 2 metre waves, although the better rides were proving difficult to find. This is very typical of beachbreaks when the swell is large and lumpy.
Places with pointbreaks would be getting the better of these conditions.It was reported earlier in the week that several tow-in crews were at South West Rocks when the swell was up to the 4 to 5 metre mark. Let’s hope things keep improving for the weekend crews who are likely to be frothing to get out of the house after the week we’ve had.
Cheers, Noel.
