Sunset Sliders, In Byron Bay Today.

The crew from the Noosa Festival and the Malfunction all appeared for a sunset slide, in Byron Bay today. The were nose rides and much stylish dancing going on all over the place, and as a general rule there was much rejoicing. But it’s at times like this that it’s wise to remember our adage. When I surf away from home, I’m in someone else’s home. Just because you’re in comp mode doesn’t make it cool to turn the hassle on the local crew. Be cool people, be respectful and turn the volume down just a tad guys, after all, you want to be welcomed back next year don’t you? Now for those that are waiting on news of the wooden fish that Andrew Wells of Grown Surfboards is building. Andrew has sent us another update. The rail strips are now on; this board is seriously being built from the ground up. For whomever the lucky winner turns out to be, this one’s going to be a gem. On that note, we see the end of another day as we slide off into the sunset, In Byron Bay Today.

Sandon Pt Rpt

Hmmmmm,…I assume the same happened in Sydney today, whereby it was still in the morning, but by lunchtime hte wind was up, the swell was dropping & everything went bumpy

Fine, dry and mild on the Central Coast this Thursday morning.  The swell is smooth and small at 1 – 2 feet from the east southeast.  There is a light south southwest breeze at the moment forecast to go east southeast then northeast.  High tide at 0425 and low tide around 1120.  Local barometer 1019 hpa, 17 degrees C. 92% humidity.  Have a good one!

Staying just clear of flatness

Pretty uninspiring, weak, waist-high & onshore. Still, you CAN go surfing

Small and smooth on the C C

The Trim Thing, In Byron Bay Today.

Not the ability to look fabo in your smugglers, although that too is often considered a desirable trait in Byron Bay these days. But rather the talent for understanding what trim is and how and why it works when it’s soft waves in the bay. Today was just one of those days; it was log and fish city in the bay all day. There just wasn’t enough power in it for the little whiteboard set. Those who tried found it very frustrating, the smarter crew hit the open beaches to charge a few onshore sizeable chunky beachies, and word is, although messy the size was fun. Meanwhile in the bay, the loggers came out to play. The girls were really the standouts today. The blokes were onto it too and pulling some sweet lines. But when it’s breaking like this it’s finesse not power that rules and the girls were giving lessons about the trim thing to any who cared to watch, In Byron Bay Today.

On the lines

Dee Why: quiet

Not much going on around Dee Why today, though it is a beautiful day to be out and about.

Glassy, clean, shoulder-high, but a bit weak-looking
