The ocean is as smooth as silk today, there's not a ripple or a splash. But don't be fooled. As it is merely a calm before the storm! From tomorrow onwards we are in for a super solid round of swell! If you check out the forecast from Coastalwatch then you will get an idea of what we're in for.

It's going to blow hard today from about lunchtime onwards so be prepared. A severe weather warning has been issued, so try not to park the Datsun 1200 under a tree today or she might just get crumpled!

I headed around to Clovelly this morning to bring you something different on this flat tac morning. There were only a few brave souls in the water throwing their arms over to start the day. While there may have only been a few humans in the big blue, there were certainly many barnacled giants on the horizon. Happy whale spotting! Brad
