Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)

(Spike, 2.13pm, Monday 21 May 2012)

Off its face on your bike to score 6-10' south swell Monday in epic seas. Light W goes glassy. Pure perfection. Tuesday smaller 4-5' easing and soft touch of devillish N breeze, but should still be fun early, with wind going variable NW later as swell falls to maybe 2-4'. Wednesday small 2-3' surf, small 5-10 kt west wind. Small day, clean. Gooi die lang plank. Thursday small soft day with 2-3' bumps clean early going manky NE onshore. Friday pulsing 3-4' reaching 5' in arvi in light west offshore freshening slowly in morning. Fun.

Thanks guys for being my secret weapon(not so secret since Im always telling guys to check your site out). I live inland but close to Stilbaai and Mosselbaai. With your help I usually pitch up at the best break at the best time! Shots!

Huge thanks for the surf reports. Ex Durbanite, now living in Montagu (Klein Karoo). Mossels & Vic Bay are my favorite haunts. At 500km for a 2hr surf the conditions must be spot-on before firing up the 'ol chariot.

I Live at Cape Agulhas where the weather can change in a very short time and we need to figure more prominently on all weather forecasts. the old blue page was brilliant with a 3 hourly x 48 hrs was extremely useful for when to do washing, fishing, windows, wash the dog etc.
