Driving down to Oceanside this saturday.

Staying till mon afternoon.

Doing the annual late summer visit to my dad/family.

Hope to score some waves - looking good at this point.

Especially looking forward to some warmer water - how is the temp down there boys?

I shouldn't say anything as it seems that whenever I come down I bring some kind of cold water curse with me!

"Gosh it's been 70 for weeks, but this morning the water temp feels like it has changed 10 degrees"

So still bringing the full suit. :wink:

Hope to see some of the brotherhood of kneelo.

ive been surfing hb and the wedge the last few days... some exellent rides on both my surfmat and kneeboard..wedge has been great quality and mellow crowd with a really good sidewave thats ridiculously fun on the mat....

Hb has been a zoo with the US open of standing goin on.... i was surfing between SC's ratboy collins and hawaiis Mason? Ho (the dad)... i turn around and perus sofia mulanovich is paddling out...

i just got out and started skating the concrete wave in the parking lot...but even that was crowded with gremmies...

from swellnet:

The good news is that we're actually at the beginning of an extended period of moderate SE swell for the entire state. The low responsible for today's large swell has moved to a position near New Zealand, where it's expected to hold steady for a couple of days. A strong S/SE fetch off the SW top of New Zealand's South Island is expected to swing more SE into Thursday, holding all the way through Friday, before a second, stronger SE fetch develops just to the south, in conjunction with a small surface low embedded in the broadscale feature near NZ. This low will then track northwest into the lower Tasman Sea over the weekend, remaining favourably aimed within our swell window until next Monday or even Tuesday.
The end result will be a lengthy run of quality SE swell affecting almost every beach in NSW. We can expect wave heights to fluctuate in the 3-5ft range between Thursday and Monday, ahead of a secondary pulse of strong SE swell late Monday (in the Far South), extended into Sydney waters on Tuesday morning, that may push slightly above this, into the 4-6ft range. Swell from this source should continue through Wednesday and possibly even Thursday if we're lucky, although the biggest waves from this source will probably occur on Tuesday
As for next week, the surf forecast is very complex. Not only are we expecting a solid kick in SE groundswell generated by an advancing SE fetch in the lower Tasman Sea, but an upper trough is expected to slowly cross the SE corner of the country over the weekend, that may very well spawn another deep low in the Tasman Sea. The specifics are not very clear at this point in time (computer models are no in agreeance regarding the strength or position of this low), but as it stands at the moment, we're unlikely to see any shortage of size across NSW beaches from late Monday thru' Wednesday, possibly Thursday. All in all, a very active forecast period ahead - more on this in Friday's update.
i love it when a plan comes together 8)

We had 2-3ft yesterday. First swell in ages and it was manic out there, I can't believe the number of people that have started surfing in the last twelve years since I was doing it seriously!

Got one reasonable wave but I'm unfit as anything, struggling to catch waves at the moment, and boy was I aching last night - mind you, it is the first time I've been in since December so it's no wonder I'm doing so badly.

Roll on September when I'll have a new board and the autumn swells should start coming through :D

I trunked it at Uppers last saturday at sunset. The water was 68 and most of the guys out there were wearing fullsuits! WTF? :shock: :shock:
