Hey!!! Mitchvg!!!! Yeah, you!
Mitch, you write; "Doggie, had a dabble at the spot you've recommended to me. Pretty fun. Don't even have to drive all the way there, if you know what I mean. Very similar setup to other locations which have the same geographic features, surprise surprise. Definitely gonna go back, cheers. Can't really make it for the next chance you mentioned a few days ago unfortunately, it's just a bit too far under my own steam Mon-Fri."
We're talking south of the free ride paddocks, right?
Did you get my tip the other day re' tomorrow arvo tues morning? Possible long camouflaged ese groundswell? Only 3 foot or so? North of my old suburb? Bigger the further north you go?
As a side note, first up, I just found your house on google maps... Just saying :| Want proof? I'll number something of your choice haha
Anyway, yeah mate, past the paddocks. I did get your tip too btw, I was thinking at the time that the ASCAT passes only showed a fetch cradled inside of the sort of Y shape of the NI. But on review, looks good. But unfortunately 3ft isn't enough to get my tail up there these days. Maybe old mate dro will luck out, sounds like he needs it haha!
Yeah, proof...... Cos the land is separate........ The land is up on G***b***** road, but our house is in town, 10 minute drive away........
We got the land separate .... Was looking at putting a kit home up on the top, selling our home in town and moving up there..... Ran out of money lol.... The house in the photo is not on our block..... The photo is taken from the top of our block looking down to Bruny.... So, Id say you are looking at the neighbours house next to our land.... (BTW - if you are looking at our land, it has 3 sheds, 2 full dams, and a dam that gets dried out by our cheeky neighbour - but thats cool ...its for the sheep and we get free lamb)
Here's another photo from the top, showing our fence line, and a view looking back from the fence to the actual guts of the property. (thats not a houses just behind the dam - sheds - where wellymon can stay, or he can use the other sheds to the left of there :p
ps - I say it with a heavy heart..... But I am looking at selling the land...... I'll cry if we do...... A dream gone.... And it's just so nice pottering around.... The walnut trees have taken off.... :(...... But hey....., Things may change....
Haha in that case, you can rest easy cos I don't know which is your house. So that's why the track to your sheds turns off before the driveway of your neighbours house. Are the sheds in photo 1 and 2 Welly's shack, or bach;)? Can't quite figure out photo 2, the roofs don't quite match. It's nice though, my parents did almost the exact same thing, except they sold up for a property with a house already on it. They just started again with all the trees, had some pecan nuts just yesterday actually, as a sweet, protein rich snack!
Photo 2 is looking "northish"..... The driveway into the property is up near the last bend on the dirt road, where the bottom dam is (plus another little shed).....
Looks like that little long groundswell is creeping in
http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/coastal/monitoring/waves/site_param.php?siteid...
So what defines the boundaries of properties there? I'm guessing the area has been subdivided, but into a weird grid? it looks like you own property on 2 slopes either side of a bit of a saddle (where photo 1 is taken from). Only a narrow strip along the right in photo 1? And you've got 2 sheds nearby to the left from photo one and to the back right from photo 2.
yeah you're right, it has a pretty decent period. I'd love to have those little patches of rock amognst the sandbanks dialed!
It's pretty hard to see the boundaries, but if you look closely, you'll see them..... Yeah, it's all odd shaped blocks and acreages..... The southern and eastern boundaries are pretty clear. The western boundary runs at a slight diagonal just behind the wellys place (the large rectangular shed), then turns hard left at that big tree, and ends at the next big tree, then runs north to the road..... The property borders the road, and as you follow the road back up (NE), you'll notice a driveway on the left. Just past there you'll see a wnw/ese line..... That's the northern boundary...
Ps.... Wish there was a wave buoy off the point with 2 islands........ a certain back beach would be catching most of this little swell.....
Sheepio, your fucking onto it champ when it comes to forecasting long range swells up here. Let alone googling my shed so Mitch Very Good can come and hang hahah, LOve it.
Hey got up this morn for a little walk with NinjaGirl along Palmy, was shocked to see every so often solid 3 footers, head over head waves breaking on some, very straight, was not from the south more Eastie and seemed like along way away too me as you would know how Palmy faces...
Nice work champ, much respect there ;)
Cheers, bloke........ Just squeezed past the top of kiwiland over the weekend.... One of those tiny 24 hour wonders, that would be one foot at ballina (thanks to north island nz, but maybe 3foot + at D.I...... Be all over by tomorrow arvo.....
Anyway, The shed is ready for spring...... Just watch out for the big tiger snake that's made a home in the rusted out old volvo bushbasher..... He's a biggun mate....... Seriously..... he's a freekn biggun ;)
Sheepy, what month of the year were the pics taken ? magic looking piece of land.
Welly me boy keep ninja girl away from the Volvo until.............you cut that tiger in half with a shovel.

No worries Udo, not sure if the wife will take her :) hahahhaha
Udo I know this is off topic, my apologies thanks to Southey again:)
Had really good feedback from my research at the moment, with the "Hairy Ones"
I have been in touch with DNA hair and saliva specialist from Canberra, as well an Anthropologist and another guy who runs the Australian Ape project from Brisbane. Have sent some awesome photos through that they are pretty gobb smacked from ;)
Sorry fellas off subject, will maybe put them on "WellyMonsters" :)

Don't say the North Island BRO.
Theres someone on here wants to blow it up ;) Why, no idea as Craig explained we would not get strong fetches off the lows if it weren't there...?
It kind of makes sense when you look at the lows that form east of the North Island they dissipate real quick. Which to me looks like a cranking E-NE swell for my favourite spot..... Can never figure that one out...?
Any ideas Sheepio...? As the bottom of the East coast of the Nrth Isle cranks in these swells ;-) No names you will figure with the first Bloggers Wave...?
Post them up on Wellymonsters, wish to view them.
Ahh, the hypotheticals of "blowing up" NZ...... The best thing about this argument is that no one can be proven wrong...... or right.......
What if we were to just "move" NZ so it sits directly "east west"? Same with New cal'........ lol
Well Sheepio, Freeride said a different hypothesis about spinning it more to the nw instead of ne angle..
I barked on that theory but when I think about it, for sure all of the East coast top part of NZ would get wrapping SW swells, food for thought hhahaaha, its too late now tho unless there is a huge eruption, which could happen and it changes dramatically. As well with climate change....? its gonna get warmer over there, us Kiwi fuks will all move back and there will be a Government change in passports to stop all you Great Aussie blokes from moving there. hahhahahhah, Love that
Stirring shit;)
You and MVG are welcome tho, you can both marry my dog....? That I won't have;)
Sheepy how did you rate the kit homes? At first I was surprised my folks were thinking about it, I imagine you're more the mud brick/hay type...

Nope...... Cow dung is the go......
Sheep pooh.......?
Nahhh cow dung is better.... We dry the sheep poo for firestarters.....
Interesting, which state has the most diverse, easy sorta building codes? They're pretty strict up north, but for good reason (sheets of tin going flying in cyclones)
Haha cow pads are kindling throughout Asia too btw
Well, mitch, this was the kit I was looking at......
ps - hindcast - that patchy "flukey" south swell had other factors apart from w/sw fetch..... It came in "lumps and chunks"...... The southern ocean, Bass straight, and a low east of tassie hold the key to the full story.... You'll figure it out ;)
wishful thinking mitch re ecl next week.... High not in position for ene feed off coral sea... One may form down off Eden, but can't see it bombing from fraser i'........
Haha yeah cheers. Just checked METVUEW, some solid S swell at the 7th day of those charts
Man..... On next sunday, a certain forgotten coast/s in a certain often overlooked tropical island chain will be smokin'...... Wish I had some spare time and cash..... I'm sure that I have just found an unknown right hander on google earth....... No Fuckn bullshit!!!! WHAT A SET UP!!!!! PERFECTION!!!!!
Lat + Long thanks .
Approx ?
Semi cryptic ?
Hmmmm, Udo...... I wont give the lat and long....... There is a native village nearby on closer look... So I'd assume some freakn american backpacker has been there..... South pacific... Not Australia..... Our side of the international date line........
Good man Sheepy, I really didn't expect you to give lat +long, save that weather map save the pennies and next time the maps right go it solo Sheepy Acera.
I've been there Sheepy. It's not that good. Every time I raced for the shoulder to do a bog rail cutty the damn lip threw over my head, over and over, again and again. It drove me wild. Never again mate....it's Crescent Head for me from now on.
Seriously though Sheepy, they're still out there. Quality waves with very minimal surfers riding them.
I've been to one little island in the Pacific that is a long way from another little island with an airstrip that is the jump off point.
I've seen this particular place in exactly 2 items of surf media and was not named in either... But you just know the Bro- vine is spreading that information. Heart breaking really.
Udo.... The wife would like to tag along....... Getting cold here......... Good swell coming but freezing....... Hey, did you know that the The Duke of edinburgh is god...................................................................................................................................................................................................... Got a map for ya' re' swell;
Check out the se swell being produced at 30s160w........
Jeez Sheepy , that took me literally ten seconds to locate . You need to get yourself an Enigma machine.
Wifes are good to take and root.........but a gopro is cheaper and quieter .
Or did you Blowin? Or did you? ;) I'd say the spot you are looking at wont be that open to se swell.... But it's pretty shit hot too .... aye
A go pro wont make my breakfast...........................
What size swell is a gradient in those waters like that likely to produce ?
Your right Sheepy. Here I was all nice and smug too... I felt so self satisfied for those 5 minutes .
Well, blowin.... I've got a number for you - 3320.642...... Now! If the red herring righthander you are looking at (which is a shit hot right btw)is 3308.379, you can figure out the rest ;)
Hey Sheepy, lucky im a fan of Miss Marpels all these cryptic clues eh ,so it cant be NZ cause everyone hates him there so its gotta be Australia.............hurray shhhhhhhhhh.
Hey, simba.... I'm more of a poirot man myself ;)
haha poirot eh so that narrows it down to wen ainodalac then steer west to utuanav,right next to that coconut tree in that long bay...see you there!
That's the red herring right, simba...... Shit hot too..... But you'll need to find a fish.. maybe a mackeral.... maybe a tuna....... Or I might as well say "F. U"........
Thanks man your right i had the wrong group turn right at.... ....instead of left .....pack the fishing gear yeahaaaa.!!!
Simba, nah man.. You've definitely got the right group..... When u get to the coconut tree, start rowing.....
Doggie I don't know the spot you're talking about, but the mind boggles when imagining what kind of swell magnets are there due to bathymetry.
Mitch, follow the cryptic clues..... Udo - 4 to 6 foot re' your 5.56pm post..... "red herring" point needs either a dash more east, or solid 6+ se to wrap.....
I would've chosen somewhere on the other group, so the swell could get funelled, bent, doubled and wedged! There's probably some really deep water all the way to the edge of some of those coastlines due to tectonic uplift.
Mitch... "The other group?"..... I'm purely talking about what I have spotted on google earth in regards to that ese swell ( map supplied)..... I've been here before..... Many many moons ago... The "red herring right"........ This upcoming swell may be big enough for this spot..... The outside section anyway...
You have to be resolute to get there...... Sketchy german tourists... Dodge volcanoes..... Love the duke of Ed.... But not far from there I have spotted something else...... Different Island..... Same swell... I'm sure I'm not the first to spot it..... Just dreaming ;)
yeah theres a shit load of set ups that are close to shore,short paddles ,but potentially long rides.......but dont tell anyone eh.
This photo'd "red herring" spot is already on many sites, simba.... But not the "other one", mate..... Not pointing that one out....
Now that I've got your attention......
