I have found WT's gauge more reliable than OWL's.  They haven't updated since 22 September, but last will update a few more times before the end of the year.  Last year's final update came in December IIRC.

Jean Nicholas is usually the best source for level info, as he is up there a lot!

Paul :D

Hehe! Thanks! As Christian mentionned, it was -2.75 as of Sunday and has been for the past 2 weeks almost. Garb is very green but if you find out the way to catch it (which is ferry out past the usual reactionary and all the way to the surfers left shoulder and paddle hard) It will be a very fun surf with big moves! Pushbutton is STELLAR!

I will most likely go again Friday and update the level!

Apparently, it was -2.75 on Saturday Oct. 2, so a bit up from the previous Sunday. There is no more online update, so you need to go find out! --C.
