Snrain!! Brrr, I think its snraing outside! Todays suggestion is that you just suit up at home and head to North Chestermans. The winds are light and from the NE and the surf is around 10 at 10. The other good news is that the water will feel warm compared to the air.
A reminder that if you still need a Christmas gift for that someone special we offer gift certificates and because you are a last minute shopper I can email them to you so that it arrives on time!

Its windy, but its do-able. I'd check out Cox Bay if I was you. The swell has a tonne of south in it, so chances are the corner will be busy. If you are stuck inside like me today, here are some youtube videos to check out;
1) the Queen of the Peak surf comp that we put on;

Happy Weekend. Today's surf is around 6 feet at 10 seconds with winds from the ESE. Todays pick would be either Cox Bay or Wick Beach. If you're bored and also as a great reminder of the importance of not being an idiot in the surf, check out this article that Rhi found yesterday....so disturbing!!

PUKE COLOUR! The surf is a bit junky looking today and is around 12 feet at 12 seconds. The wind is a non issue, and your best bet is North Chestermans although i doubt it will be the day of the year. In other news, with encouragement from my coworker Lisa, I have decided that my 2011 New Years Resolution is to sing Iron Maidens "Hallowed be Thy Name" at karaoke. This is a big commitment cause for one, I am the worst singer in the world (but i do have stage presence) and secondly the bar does not have this song on file so I will have to make them get it. By doing this I will help to prove Lisa's theory that everyone can sing. Also I can pay homage to an amazing power ballad that has spent its life in the shadow of "Run to the Hills" and possibly create world peace by doing so.

Lots of options out there today with the surf around 6 feet at 14 seconds with light winds from the NE...waves everywhere. Last night we made our way down to Ukee for their 'Midnight Madness Sale' and picked up some fun things. The Long Beach Surf Shop has some smokin deals on for wetsuits if you are in the market for something to keep you toasty on these frosty days.

Cox Bay or Wick Beach are the calls for today. The surf looks clean as can be with light winds from the East and seas of around 6 feet at 9 seconds.
We are getting in to the month countdown until our staff trip to Costa Rica!! We will be closed from Jan 3-31 so that we can go get some warm waves! We will be updating our trip on our facebook page so you can live vicariously through it. This year we are lucky to have Doug Ludwig take some photos for us as well. He's awesome and you can check out his work at www.douglasludwigphotograpy.com

Todays surf report is around 9.5 feet at 12 seconds with very light winds. If I wasnt here sitting at this computer I'd be looking for a small wave at North.
Just a reminder if you are looking for the perfect gift for someone special we do offer gift certificates...call us, email us or just stop by!
