Warm and windless on first light this morning with thick dark clouds once again surrounding the horizon. Driving down Bondi Road you could tell the swell was up even before reaching the beach with dark grey lines quite visible over the buildings and out to sea.
Swell period is up on yesterday making for more waves in the sets and longer intervals between. It really isnt that great with most set waves closing out. The early pack of surfers were often being caught inside after drifting in to catch waves during the long lulls and the paddle back out looked quite hectic, unless you went from the south corner where the strong rip would suck you out past the Icebergs in no time.
Tomorrow should be better, a little smaller but cleaner with west winds all day. Friday looks ok too before a strong southerly change kicks in and a further jump in swell on the weekend. That could be a good time to hit the road and look for those protected south corners as the swell will be more east. Sunday looks quite solid. Things could change however so we'll let you know closer to the end of the week.
Have a great day and be careful out there.
