Oh what a joy to wake this morning to solid sound of southerly lines shutting down the open beaches today. Sure, The Cape robbed it of some size and thump out, as the lines wrapped one eighty degrees en route, in Byron Bay today. But even in its reduced capacity, the much anticipated swell had enough folks frothing their chops at the thought of some nice long logger lines for a sunny Sunday. The crowd was pretty intense at times, not quite sure what the idea behind beginners hassling like Hawaiian black shorts is all about. But apart from that silliness there was much, hooting, hollering and all round rejoicing at the solid sound of a southerly swell, In Byron Bay Today.
