we call ourselves the 'dirty south'
p.s due to the current sweeping down the west coast
the 'deep south' is always warmer than the 'dirty south'
Glad your having fun enjoy your trip home

ha ha - there were semi banks everywhere but none of em were any good, big crew at caves but i dont think it was realy any better than 200mtrs away where i was. Unless you had your 'wave magnet 3000' unit on, you wouldnt have missed much

Dunners is average and cold even in summer
lot better at piha and raglan anyday
your brother is just enjoying the great Drugs we bring in from Gore
Tell mum and Dad to get him back home and perform an intervention As Soon As Possible
Otherwise he could be slipping towards Invergiggle before you can say "Shallow Gene Pool"

Ok.. he surfed piha many times but still reckons better by far. Well I guess Raglan's a different story.
Maz Quinn said Dunedin has the best waves too but just too cold.
definitely have the best waves, best setups. Pretty dam cold but you can always layer up.
Surfed a fun river mouth today before the wind go on it too much, reeling left barrels only 2 foot though with the occasional slightly bigger one. Also surfed it Wednesday morning pretty much as good as it gets.

Allans is pretty much never flat. If it's one foot in town it'll be two to three up there.

ha true! You a local down there Surfscab? Ive had some mint surfs at Piha but you rate it better in genral than Dunners? I guess its all a matter of opinion..I read Nat Young thinks Mahia has the best wave.
No way i'm local ...Ever !!
i despise the concept..
"Local" is for crew too scared to travel in case they lose their place in the alpha monkey pecking order
grew up ...up north
lived in auck, waikato, n.plymouth, north canterbury, india and here
Like anywhere it gets good here
and the cold keeps the crowds down
But
only a few surfs a year in boardies if ya brave
means i'd rate o'neills, kare kare as better on a quiet day
but most days i have fun

BK's a tinny b4stard isn't he! moves to Nelson in the middle of the best run of swells ever. You should check his South Island Vid he made on You Tube. It's pretty sick.

Houghton Bay (Wgtn) last night. 3-4ft, rip running through it, pretty bumpy from the westerly blowing past, interesting shaped bar there at the moment
Mr Statik - Wellington ("SE Coast") has had swell all week, but is usually super windy cross-offshore (from the west) and hasn't been that big yet. Wind has dropped off earlier than expected today though...

Farkin' pumping today. That west wind's perfect for spots like the Island by the way Ice.

Thanks for that Spud. I'll be out there later. Although the ECAN buoy is now recording significant wave height at 6m and timing heading up towards 10sec. I think the island will be closing out although there might be something catchable on the inside corner.

Hmm the dirty south i like the sound of that. anyway id agree dunedin piha and raglan are all great waves.However those of us with hair on our testies mite supplement them with man versions White Rock, The Spit, and ngapotoki (seconds) which by the way if your goofie and it`ts 6ft plus is freaking insane.I highly recommend if your on the verge of puberty and you want rapid hair growth head to the rappa.

Surfed one of spuds waves round the Welly south coast tonight. Perfect sized swell (4ft), swell direction, tide and wind. Just me and an audience of 4wd dorks. Best surf I've had all week.

Think I know the general area, never checked it out in a swell but have had a look at a few potential setups that way.

You lucky devil. I was on family duty so could only watch as the swell picked up while we were building sandcastles!
Let me know by PM which spot you were surfing.
