The madness behind the method behind the shred factor…

It’s funny how often feedback on Surfsouthoz filters back through friends and acquaintances. Most recently, a mate related a conversation he’d had with two friends who were bemoaning the much maligned “shred factor” quoted in every daily report.

Sunday… Halleluja!

It’s hard to say if it was the drizzly, overcast weather, or cautious swell forecasts in the wake of repeated disappointment that kept the masses at bay on the morning of Sunday March 7. While many slumbered warm in bed, sobering up and shaking off the after effects of long weekend binge drinking, West facing […]

Waits… small… but fun

With the Middleton side of the coast struggling to hold anything shortboardworthy, the obvious destination for something resembling a wave today was Newland Head Conservation Park.

The Maligned Coast

Talk to any South Ozzie surfer and they’ll have a story of an epic session somewhere along the ten odd km of coast South-East of Middleton. You’ll  hear about the 5 second tube they got inside Drib’s Bay, the 200m long right hander they snagged off the Grassy Knoll on a  six foot day, or […]

Easter 2009 surf outlook

The 4 day long weekend in April always holds the promise of the fabled Easter swell, with surfer’s minds conjuring solid lines of corduroy and water still warm enough for a 3/2 steamer - even a springy.
