NE’r for Christmas eve
Posted on December 24th, 2009 in Big Picture.
Hello Friends,
Wow, weather like a bush ballad across much of the country today. Scorchers and torrential rain depending on where you are. 40+ yesterday over here in the Barossa, now it’s overcast but dry, while up north it’s pouring apparently. That rain will be over Sydney by Christmas day.
Today the wind’s supposed to stay NE and pick up as lunchtime approaches. With luck this should push up a little something in the way of late afternoon windswell at those semi-protected spots. There’s not much of any underlying swell, so whatever there is, will be very close together.
Surf outlook remains summery for the week ahead in Sydney. An early south change on Christmas Day doesn’t look likely to do any favours for conditions. Before it arrives you could get lucky at spots exposed to the east.
The weekend’s looking pretty marginal with the best hope being for late afternoon wind waves in the waist high range. And of course there’ll be rain off and on across the period. Oh well, Huey’ll be back again one day soon…
Go well with today’s plans!

Bring back the Australia Day Surfboard Paddle
Posted on December 24th, 2009 in Top stories.Longtime RealSurf friend, Ben G. wrote to us a couple weeks ago to see if we might get the word out on his campaign to bring back the Australia Day Surfboard Paddle across the Harbour.
Sez Ben…
“It was run for about 5 years up until 2007 and then due to a lack of sponsorship they pulled the pin.
“I got in touch with the Australia Day Council to see whether it was going ahead on Australia Day 2010 and it is once again not planned. They suggested, when I told them of other people that I know that are mad keen to do it that I should set up a facebook page or the like to try and rally some support.”
So, Ben’s done the deed and created a facebook page here where you can go and show your support for this great event.

Too Pretty For Some, In Byron Bay Today.
Posted on December 24th, 2009 in Byron.
Well folks if this is any indicator of the summer we’re heading into, we’re in for a stunner in Byron Bay. Today was just ridiculously pretty, so much so, I couldn’t stand shooting it anymore. I had to down tools and go for a few slides myself. It’s not that the waves were that good, although they sure weren’t bad. It’s just that it was too pretty; I couldn’t bear to watch it anymore and not be in it. Funny thing is several places were breaking, and none were particularly crowded everyone was scoring in Byron Bay today. All was well in the bay folks were smiling and having a ball it was joyous and peaceful scene. Then a couple of blokes came out and decided to hassle us all. They dropped in on the girls and kids; put the hassle on the old blokes on logs and were generally rude to all and sundry. Once they’d managed to upset as many as they could, they jumped in their car sped off from the car park, happy with their egocentric little tantrum, Yah what hero’s. Honestly boys if you’re reading this, the general consensus in the parking area was that it was pretty lame behaviour. So what’s it all about then? Who knows, maybe they couldn’t handle watching folks enjoy themselves or it was just too pretty for some, In Byron Bay Today.
