Rainy morning

Hello Friends,

Grey and raining start to the day. Not much wind though and there’s still a little SE swell showing at Dee Why. It seems to be pretty setty and the biggest ones are struggling to get much above the waist high mark. One of those days when if you have to miss out, you don’t miss much.

The Bureau says the wind will go around to the NW this afternoon. Rain should ease off as that happens.

From the look of the models, our region is heading into a stretch of small to flat conditions that could last through the weekend… here’s hoping Huey has other plans.

Say, I’ve got a question for any of you who feel like responding. I’d like to put up a fresh poll to sound everybody out on what surfing does for each of us. So, if you have any thoughts, why not use the comments field at the bottom of this page to share them with everyone. If you’re a facebook user, you can now log in to our comments system with that ID.

Here are some of the reasons I’d give

It’s fun
It’s can be a challenge
It can be very intense
It can be exhilarating
I like being in the ocean
It makes me feel connected with the natural world
It takes me outside of myself
I like the social side of it
It makes me feel good
It’s great exercise

over to you!
