Trigg
Today’s Aquabumps comes from the other side of this big island, Trigg Point, Perth – Western Australia. Trigg beach is famous for being one of the most busiest surf breaks in the world. The beach is massively long, and flat, and the banks are usually dead straight to match – but the little corner pocket up the northern end has a small chunk of reef running onto sand, providing a decent right, even when nowhere else has waves. But if you can imagine only 1 break working in Sydney – it gets crowded. Bit like the Supabank. So most crew nowadays are buying boats or houses down south where there is more wave variety – hell there’s enough money going ’round from this mining boom of the century, Rotto boats are standard issue.

Today there is a 2.5 metre swell running in Perth, it super clean with gentle offshores and you really need to be down near Margies or Rotto to enjoy these conditions. The odd chest high bump tubed into the beach at Trigg. No morning light over here, makes for interesting light pockets as the sun comes up.

After checking all the swell charts for Sydney it looks like I am on the wrong coast. Sydney is firing. Bondi looks 5 foot and clean. Good day to wag work and bake it down the coast. Doit.

Have a good day, uge
