I heart WOTD

The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

Todays WOTD... now that's my idea of perfection!

Nick Bone Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 09:53 am

I like this. Looks like a fun wave and corduroy in the background really makes it inviting.

Dare i ask the locale?

New Zealand.

Bnkref Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 11:23 am

Today's is so good. Stacked lines, beautiful spot and no crowd.

NZ was my guess.

blackers Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 01:13 pm

Looking a whole heap better than the Hoax Coast looks today. Time for a trip.

I focus Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 03:17 pm

So Stu you and the rest of the mob at Swellnet have cleverly placed yourselves to get the low down on the sweetest surf spots...............my deep state conspiracy theory is you bury all the good one's never to be shown so you can secretly surf uncrowded waves.

Hhmm.

indo-dreaming Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 04:14 pm

Looks nice and idyllic , but bet it's a deceptive pic that looks like you can surf it all the way through, but possibly only really take off from where the guy is and then what does it do going towards those rocks?

Island Bay Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 04:27 pm

Nah, ID, it's a reasonably long wave, and very good quality.

The old jetty/groyne looks like it'll trip you up, but it's quite far down the line.

That whole area is littered with good waves.

indo-dreaming Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 04:32 pm

Yeah okay, hey you should have just said...yeah its a hoax :P

Looks like a nice spot.

Island Bay Friday, 11 Oct 2019 at 04:37 pm

Locals keep it under control :-)

Oh good lord.
Nocunout either

Jono Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 09:37 am

Couple of easy duck dives and you're out there

dandandan Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 09:47 am

Yikes. Today's photo is tugging at the heart strings.

Jed gets the front page again - currently living with this guy's uncle.

Bnkref Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 01:32 pm

Classic. Solid!

Yendor Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 05:09 pm

Not particularly a secret spot. Total class but very rare to get it without a significant crowd. Do a bit of hunting and you'll find it.

goofyfoot Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:29 pm

hunt for Uluwatu?

udo Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:12 pm

Todays pic is not Ulu.

goofyfoot Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:18 pm

Sure about that?

udo Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:22 pm

No im not actually..
Balangan last years Russian swell i thought but his insta says Ulu

stunet Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:24 pm

It's Ulus. No need to hunt.

Yendor Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 07:45 pm

Doh! was trying to reply to the NZ pic, didn't realise it posted in sequence.

goofyfoot Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 08:33 pm

Ha! Gotcha, yeah that NZ photo is a cracker too

Westofthelake Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 08:44 pm

Yea that NZ photo was a dream.

Todays Ulu shot is timeless. Not a soul in sight.
How big is it in this pic? 10ft, 15?
It looks like a huge swell period.

I focus Monday, 14 Oct 2019 at 10:46 pm

Is that an asbestos roof fraying?

stunet Tuesday, 15 Oct 2019 at 11:01 am

You taking over Udo's OH&S job?

Today's looks like an oil painting. Stunning!

zenagain Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 11:58 am

x 2.

Peter Jovic and another beauty.

Bnkref Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 12:30 pm

x 3 for Peter Jovic. He's been on fire lately. Impressive stuff.

derra83 Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 01:53 pm

Ditto to all the above. Peter's photos have taken a huge leap.

GuySmiley Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 01:59 pm

Was in Margaret River a few weeks back and some bombs like that were being ridden.

I focus Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 02:32 pm

PJ has a great frame there pushed it to the edge but didn't over cook the art, cracking shot.

heals Wednesday, 16 Oct 2019 at 05:47 pm

It looks like a pic from Portals-era Tracey Moffatt.

zenagain Sunday, 20 Oct 2019 at 08:47 am

I'm fast becoming an unabashed Peter Jovic fanboy. Another cracker today- what a keg and what a shot! Oct. 20th.

Blowin Sunday, 20 Oct 2019 at 08:56 am

Agree, Zen.

That’s probably the reason I was so uninspired by the Chlorinated Bristol ripple generator .....I’d watched it after staring at that WOTD shot for a few minutes.

Akin to going from a mindlessly hectic sex session with Scarlett Johansenn to a dry five knuckle shuffle over a Big W catalogue.

goofyfoot Sunday, 20 Oct 2019 at 09:21 am

Beat me to it Zen. He’s killing it

zenagain Sunday, 20 Oct 2019 at 10:37 am

knew you'd like that one Goof.

Westofthelake Sunday, 20 Oct 2019 at 04:51 pm

As above, unreal.

zenagain Monday, 28 Oct 2019 at 09:15 pm

Only just got to SN now, have to say it but Peter Jovic is killing it.

October 28th- today, beautiful shot. Truly beautiful.

ojackojacko Monday, 28 Oct 2019 at 11:34 pm

agree zen. has to be one of the best ever. i know that’s a huge call

Mishad Tuesday, 29 Oct 2019 at 01:07 pm

Looks eerily eerily similar to a photo I have of me at P-Pass 10 odd years ago. Although I don't know how to put photos on this forum thing.

Craig Tuesday, 29 Oct 2019 at 02:17 pm

Try this Mishad.. Uploading photos

Bnkref Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 10:33 am

Very nice today. I like the pulled back angle. If only that stretch of coast got like that more often.

blackers Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 02:24 pm

Yup, it is nearly always rubbish. Go west (or to Tulla), I hear Winki is the place to be.

Nick Bone Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 06:21 pm

its not even a wave? like that's a close out any money

velocityjohnno Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 06:26 pm

West side never tubes tho. You'll never experience the ultimate if you go the west side.

GuySmiley Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 08:04 pm

Hoax coast

indo-dreaming Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 at 09:02 pm

Guessing it's just like Woolis (Cape Woolamai) when solid on outside bank, can get the odd good photo that makes it look good, but in reality you can't surf it unless have a ski, as too shifty and mostly closeouts plus too much water moving around could never stay in right area even if any kind of outside bank peeling.
