Summercloud Bay gallery

Fading, but still intense, south swell with strong NE winds made for an attractive combo. It was extremely crowded (30+) at Aussie Pipe, but shooting conditions were great.

It’s all Happening, In Byron Bay Today.

Click here for the full update, in Byron Bay today.

Yes folks the countdown has begun, it’s the official start of Schoolies Break from tomorrow November 21^st  take easy in the water you guys it’s not a comp out there. And don’t forget when you’re away from home you’re in someone else’s home. A little courtesy and respect will go a very long way. Of course that also works both ways in Byron Bay today. This Sunday at 2.00pm sees the book launch of Andy Crockett’s long awaited ‘Switch Foot II’, at Ho’okupu; don’t miss that one, it should be fun. Then of course it’s only another week and a bit till the official beginning of summer, which is the first birthday for In Byron Bay Today. The real countdown for us now, is how we have tallied up with traffic for our first year live. We were innocently aiming at a nice round figure of 1 Million Hits as a goal. I haven’t calculated the final tally yet, but we now know that will stroll over the line with a lazy 8 million+ Hits in our stats account. Now that’s  healthy traffic. So I would just like take this chance to say a big thank you, to all you groovers. All the guys & girls that have made it so clear to us, that you enjoy our hard work. You see folks; it’s the positive feedback and well wishes we continue to receive on a daily basis which really does make it all worthwhile. So thank you once again for popping in each day to, In Byron Bay Today.

On the fade, but not gone

Hello Friends,

Back from the little sortie down the coast to find a few wee scraps of swell still coming in to Dee Why. It’s in the waist high range, but because the MHL buoy is still showing some 13 second component, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the very occasional bomb set that was a bit bigger than that.

The trend lines are all pointing toward small conditions through the weekend. Basically it looks as though we’ll only have weak and small mainly ENE short period windswell.

I didn’t get a chance to finish up my mini-blog of the trip down south yesterday as it was my turn to drive. After leaving Ulladulla we decided to check in on summercloud bay. Neither of us had been there in a decade or two, but it’s basically just exactly the same – right down to the tradition of leaving your car obviously open. Clearly the rip off situation is the same as it was back in the 70′s when I first visited the place.

After making the longish walk through the bush to that famous broad rock platform, we discovered that the NE wind had really picked up and was blasting along at 30+ knots. That didn’t deter a pack of 30+ mainly bodyboarders who were furiously paddling into the very consistent head high plus sets. I got a bunch of pictures which I’ll turn into a gallery later…

Gotta jam, more later today.

Going for ordinary

Hello Friends,

Returning from an editorial meeting for the next issue of Photo Review, I went by Curly and Dee Why to have a gink at the state of play. It was a bit before 3 pm and the NE wind was getting up into the forecast 15-20 kt range. There were a few bods in the water at mid-Curly but the energy levels seem to have dropped quite a bit. The MHL data for Sydney is showing a metre of SE windswell at around 7 seconds apart. There is some 12 second stuff in there as well, but I couldn’t see any real sign of it. Sets were struggling to get chest high (see the pic), and only then for a few moments. Around at Dee Why it looked quite a bit smaller than the junky stuff Barry and I briefly sampled this morning.

My expectation is that it’s likely to be small tomorrow morning, but with luck it will still be sort of catchable at exposed spots. The wind’s set to be NW early, and then to swing to the NE and pick up into the same sort of speeds experienced this afternoon. Right now Saturday and Sunday look to be around about the same.

Hope to have some pics from summercloud bay up a little later…

In the meantime, go well with all your plans!

Mid arvo set wavelet briefly pops up for alert surfer person.

Very small and glassy

Looks like near calm NW winds for most of Thursday with just under a 3 foot bump. So if you got a log, drag it to the beach Thursday.
