For the third day straight not one person paddled out the main G-Land break. 20/20′s was surfed all through the day, with 2-4ft sets breaking better than yesterday along the short reef break. A few people got some reported fun ones at Chickens also.

G-Land Surf still had big hairy bombie (more…)

G-Land had a thick mist over the line-up for the first few hours of the morning, and while it sounded big and loud, I could not quite tell. Once the fog lifted mid morning I realised it was perhaps the biggest swell I’ve seen here since 2007! Too big for here today really. It was washing through, the ocean was moving sideways across the reef, huge swells unloading on the bombie. I heard the Rip Curl Padang Padang International Invite comp ran today in 6-8ft pumping waves. Jamie O’Brien won.

G-Land was under the spell of some weird weather pattern today. A light drizzle fell most of the morning until about 10am, and not once in the day did a tradewind kick in. It would occassionally glassy, and often a light sideshore breeze. The swell had dropped from yesterday afternoon, and it was mostly 4-6ft all day in the G-Land Surf.

G-Land was a bit of a circus through the high tide (more…)

G-Land Surf is going off right now. Its sunset time (happy hour), I’m at the beach on the wireless network making this report, and theres real solid sets coming through. Bombie sets even. Solid 6-8ft this last half an hour before dark on the Ledge. So gutted I didn’t go out there after my mission today.

As predicted, we all woke up too an active ocean. G-Land Surf was solid, the Bombie had some big sets on the low tide (infact all day long it had some big sets), and the offshore soon followed about 9am, helping clean up the 6-8ft swell. There was even the odd rogue 10ft set that came through… (more…)

Boom! Woke up to a gnarly looking line-up, solid 6-8ft, sets breaking on the bombie. G-Land had done a radical pick up overnight. This swell is not the quality and perfection of last weeks high period swell, but I still had butterflys as a I prepared my 7’8 for (more…)

G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp had a fair few new arrivals today, some first timers, and then some such as ex WCT Pro Surfer Jake Spooner showed up also. He was in the 95, 96, 97 Quiksilver Pro’s at G-Land, so (more…)
