A few waves around

Midday post: still some around

Hello Friends,

Went for a wave this morning. Started with a scan of the Collaroy-Narra stretch, but was not overly impressed, so wandered by Long Reef to see if anything was going on in the middle of the beach. There was… sorta… but not seeing anything terribly compelling, I carried on southward. To my surprise the point looked about the most interesting option.

It was a mixed bag. Mostly too small for standups, but every now and then a set would turn up with a wave face into the chest to shoulder high range. In between though the best option was a bodyboard. Water’s so warm that it was just a treat being in. Still some evidence of the runoff, but not much. I didn’t see any blue bottles, but one guy I was chatting with said he got pranged on his arm and leg.

On the way home I stopped for a squizz at the Collaroy-Narra stretch from Edgecliff Blvd. Couple bods messing about near the marquesas and a bazillion in up at Northy. Wind was bumping it up at the south end as you can see from the pics, but up the other end I reckon it might not have been too much of a factor.

Swell has faded since this morning and that’s in line with expectations. Could be back to rather small and marginal tomorrow morning.

Go well!

Nothing the next couple of days.

Almost flat with east winds and rain Tuesday. Buoy data looks like something could be coming Wednesday but short term forecast are still unknown as to the casue, direction, etc. Stay posted.

The Feast Continues, In Byron Bay Today.

The waves just keep coming, and coming and coming in Byron Bay today. After such a long period of inconsistent surf, this is the longest swell we’ve seen for some time in Byron Bay. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, but this can’t go on forever, even last year when we had consistent surf for months it was an long connecting stream of different swells. But this particular swell has been pulsing for eleven days straight now, it’s kept the same direction, same intensity and size, about the only that’s changed is the wave periods, which are getting longer. This tells us the systems forming it are getting further away, so the waves have further to travel and are getting longer and thicker before reaching the bay. So the wave feast continues unabated, and there was much rejoicing, In Byron Bay Today.

Summer Bunkers, In Byron Bay Today.

It was just one of those utterly beautiful wet season kinds of days, in Byron Bay today. There were plenty of chances of getting caught in the random rain squalls, as the swirled up and down the coast. Each shower was quickly replaced by startling sunshine and the humidity went up and down like a heavily moistened yoyo reminding us we live in the subtropics here in Byron Bay. We kept ducking for cover with the equipment as the showers came, only to drag it all out again into the steaming sunshine only minutes later. The easterly swell continues to pulse, it’s still kind of lumpy, but there were many moments worth documenting for those who made the effort to get out in the showers and play. The on and off weather kept the crowds down a little and a few of the local crew begun to emerge from their summer bunkers to get out and score a few, In Byron Bay Today.
