this is just a theory but
1. Not that many people live down there
2. if a person did start providing reports they probably would have to move pretty quick;)

there was a time when there were no surf reports for anywhere and surfers relied on their knowledge of the weather etc. Why take the fun out of everything. Nothing better than the bolt from Adelaide to find it flat :)

as nice as surf reports are, there is no substitute for going a having a look for yourself.I have found recently that they aren't always that accurate, especially when trying to cover a large area.

the other option is learn to read a weather map (its not that hard), you should be able to figure out if there is swell or not.

You need to same winds as the mid coast
So anything with an E in it
if its to small anywhere head to west cape or ethels or chis usually gets more swell

As radbone has alluded to, it's not that dissimilar to the Mid Coast in many ways, although expect around twice the size at west facing breaks with larger waves at your West Cape's, Ethels etc...

Please never do a report for the Yorke pen'. That would be disgraceful
Like craig said its easy enough to work out from the other forcasts. I think most south ozzies that go there would not appreciate loads of crew rocking up because there was a surf forcast giving everyone the green light. Lets keep a little mystery in the world shall we :)

There's no plans to do a Yorkes report. It's never been mentioned and I can't see it changing in the future.

There is no point yorkes is shit all there is is fat mushy waves and straighthanders. How about everyone just keep to victa and the mid. Heaps of good waves there!

Fat mushy waves sound great for me and my 20 friends that have just started surfing (mini mals). Instead of going to Middleton every weekend we might head over there. I heard about a place called chinamens, maybe we might start there.............

Mate the locals are all angry and protective so if it is firing you will most likley be told to go in by one of them. Went there in 2004 and it was heavy the way the locals carried on. Great waves but ficle and sharky. Have fun ;-)

My tip for Yorkes is just keep driving west at Port Wakefield longer drive but the waves shit on anything Yorkes can dishup bar ethel ledge which is fickle as all fuck.Hell you can surf with most of Maroubra while ya there just get some tats done and you should blend in just fine, oh west coast what has happenend to ya not another N.W Aus I hope.

Not much point having a Yorkes report when it takes you 3hrs to get there. A lot can happen with winds and tides in 3 hrs.

There used to be a Yorkes report many years ago (site was called SA Yorkes) but he shut it down eventually - probably because it was useless for people in Adelaide and the locals knew what was going on anyway.

Hey - heres an idea.. What about a Cactus report as well? I am sure the locals over there would not mind phoning through an update every morning? They would have lots of photos to share too!

yeah because that would go down well
you guys just think they are crazy because that is what you read in magazines have you ever actually spoken to the blokes?
They do react the same as we do when some one drops in on them
