Ben and the boys must get disheartened by you lot bickering over swell heights and winds and forecasts. Go surfing or don't go, I don't mind but just do it quietly and leave the poor old forecasters alone. If you don't trust the local guy taking the pick, go with the forecast. My area is sweet with both but I still wouldn't sook like you lot if it wasn't. I might even get in the car, drive to the beach and check it out myself
