Mid-arvo update

1400 and it's definitely bigger than this morning.

Hello Friends,

According to the MHL data, Sydney’s got the most wave energy this afternoon. Swell has gone more to the SSE, size has gone from less than two metres to around the three metre mark at sea and the power setting has jumped from less than 8 seconds to close to 10.

All of which should look a bit better than the junky stuff getting into Dee Why beach. Wind is a steady 7-8 kts from the east and combined with the dull grey skies, it’s not creating a very pretty picture.

I’m off on an errand so I’ll see if I can get a few more piccies for ya while I’m out and about…

…later

Came back along the beaches from Manly. The Queensy end was empty but there were a few bods messing around in the junky, lacklustre conditions of North Steyne, as for example below…

The take off was the high point for this bloke's wave at around 3pm.

Around the corner at Curly the swell was considerably bigger (it is coming from the south after all), but the generally junky and sloppy grey conditions were pretty similar to Manly – only twice the size.

This section at south Curly was the best wave I spied this afternoon.

Dee Why was getting the swell too, but since I’ve already posted a pic of it, I didn’t stop for another. Instead I went up to Long Reef headland for a look from near the carpark. No one in at either Collaroy or Whiterock. Swell not really getting around into ‘em. Didn’t seem to be anyone out consorting with the Longy bomby either, but there was some size, so that’s mildly curious.

From what the Bureau says, we can expect tomorrow to feature the same sad e to se wind. Sadly the swell is set to fade back to about what it was yesterday. Gee, it feels like we’re a long way from winter now…

Seemed to be unoccupied...

Heat gone, greyness back

Still not much to get excited about this morning, though I did see one lone soul catch a wave at The Point earlier on a short board. This is what’s currently on offer:

The Melbourne Cup may bring the nation to a halt everywhere else, but it was pretty much business as usual in Byron Bay today. It’s not that we don’t celebrate cup day here, we do, same as everyone else. It’s just the Byronian (Byron-Bohemian) lifestyle, whether lived as a resident or experienced as a visitor. Is so far from the norms of everyday living that, big celebrations that stop the nation as they say, are kind of water off a ducks back to us here in Byron Bay. What I mean by that is this. Life is celebrated here. Whether it’s a quiet sunset stroll, or having a few waves with your mates, we tend to make the most of each and every day in the bay. The big celebrations come and go. But we celebrate and love the simple day to day ways of just being, In Byron Bay Today.
