Blokes, In Byron Bay Today.

Well yeah there were blokes all over the place, in Byron Bay today. Hardly surprising really, after all it was father’s day. There were little blokes, middle sized blokes middle aged blokes and young blokes proudly sporting their new born tiny blokes. They were all there and getting into some quality time in the bay. The big bloke, Huey, must have been in a good mood about the whole thing because all the blokes were rewarded with rather nice little waves in the bay. Nobody was really expecting a rise in the swell, but that’s what all these blokes were treated to, In Byron Bay Today.  To my old bloke, rest in peace mate, I know you’re a part of me, but I still miss you every day.

Spring Loaded, In Byron Bay Today’s Weekend Review.

Well it is spring folks, and traditionally that means not a whole lot of swell, in Byron Bay today. Last year we did get lucky and were blessed with sizeable swell for most of the season. But so far not that sure that Huey will rise to the occasion and load us up with swell this spring. If the week just gone by is any indicator, and most of us are hoping it’s not. Then it looks like we may be going into grovel mode for while as small is all we got. Granted it’s been ok for the logging crew who have been happily sliding into a few. But for the little white board set there has been little to get excited about thus far. Maybe with a little luck Huey will come to the party and have us all spring loaded soon, In Byron Bay Today.  

Big Fish, In Byron Bay Today.

As we pulled up in the car park this morn, folks were hurriedly leaving the water and buzzing on about, ‘did ya see the sharks’, in Byron Bay today. Apparently four big beasties were spotted cruising around the point, can’t say I saw them myself. But The Magic Rabbit was out there having a few slides when we turned up. He strolled over and casually conveyed to us that he had indeed just surfed over top of one of them. His word is good enough for me, so if he saw them, then they were there alright. Certainly backed the crowd off for a spell, which was just as well. It’s hardly surprising really, after all, there are plenty of whales about with their calves at the moment, and big prey attracts big predators, In Byron Bay Today.  

Popping, Slapping And Burning, In Byron Bay Today.

There was not a whole lot going down on the wave side of things, in Byron Bay today. But there was sure plenty of alternative action happening in the bay. The swell was small; the wind was a taste of the season to come, in other words northerly and strong. While the tide was a ridiculously low, low, thanks to a new moon. Yet if you hung around long enough you’d soon notice there were other things going on. The dolphins were in fine form popping out all over the place. Not to be outdone, the whales were busy with breaches and tail and pectoral fin slaps for most of the day. Then to top it all off we watched a meteorite of some sort burn up in the atmosphere above us at sunset, In Byron Bay Today.  

Most Popular Of April 2011, In Byron Bay Today.

Yes boys and girls, as we creep towards the end of another almost completely, but not quite, surfless day. We decided that perhaps right about now would be a prudent time to remind us all just how lucky we’ve been thus far this year, in Byron Bay today. So let’s take peek at the most popular photos from April 2011. As per usual these are the images that have been requested from our server the most since they went live. We hope they inspire you just a little, as Huey has been a bit of a loose goose with the lack of juice, umm only kidding big guy, no disrespect intended, In Byron Bay Today.

Spoilt Rotten, In Byron Bay Today.

It was just one of those joyous windy, sunny, uncrowded wintery days, when there are good waves, but you must invest a little effort to find them, in Byron Bay today. I love these kinds of days; Huey throws up a challenge and only those who pay attention score. The wind is strong and cold, the waves clean and hollow and the crowd virtually nonexistent. It’s a joy to score a few quiet ones on the shorty, and then find a spot in the sun out of the wind to warm the bones while quietly nursing a hot coffee. Sitting quietly, musing to oneself, about the quality of the morning session. Knowing all too well that if the wind swings this arvo it’ll be time to pull on a cold wet wetty yet again, and head out on the log for an evening slide as the sun goes down over the bay. Bottom line, we’re spoilt rotten at times, In Byron Bay Today.

Happening Or Hoax, In Byron Bay Today.

At first glance it may have looked about the same as it was yesterday, in Byron Bay today. But upon closer examination, one soon noticed it was definitely bigger, the swell had a little more of a south direction to it, and some sites were all over the net early this morning touting ‘it’s on, it’s on, get on down there’. But you know, you can make it look like it’s happening when it’s not, and vice versa. Fact; it was thicker, straighter, more hollow and a lot more powerful than yesterday. Much of the time the swell was simply overwhelming the banks. Was it happening, or was it a hoax? Well that’s not my call to make. If you paddled out, or checked it carefully you already know the answer. I’ll say this much, it had moments. Some really good, some not so good, and some just plain nasty, but regardless of whichever way you saw it. It sure was pretty both in and out of the water, In Byron Bay Today.

The Pro Show, In Byron Bay Today.

It was all systems go as the lesser known pros turned up to put on a show, in Byron Bay today. What with the Quiksilver pro event on up the road and the Noosa Festival of surfing, about to go into full swing this coming weekend. We have pros of all differing shapes and sizes doing little stop offs in the bay right now. It’s a bit of a mixed bag; it’s kind of cool to watch. But up and coming egos can be a trial on those just out to relax for the day. Either way it is what it is, and it happens each and every year at this time of year. There’s no doubt that whether ya love, loathe or are indifferent about the Pro Show, it’s entertaining either way, In Byron Bay Today.
