The smell of the ocean was wafting through my window on first light and I knew immediately it hadnt gone off shore over night. The damp road outside showed evidence of some early rain but the sky was semi clear, mottled in a patchwork of blue and grey.
These on shores are depressing. There wasn't a surfer in sight on any of the beaches again until I got to Maroubra, where 3 guys were battling the 3-4 ft of bumpy east swell slop in the south corner. There was actually a half decent right hander next to the reef every now and again but nothing to write home about. A few rare winter bluebottle were also scattered along the shore. Another blessing of these moderate easterly winds that are plaguing us at the moment. If you're working, there is nothing to worry about because you certainly ain't missing anything down at the beach today!
Looks like it could be offshore tomorrow morning for a little while, which may make for some better conditions but the uneven wave surface will probably still remain. At least it should keep the bluey's at bay for a while.
Have a great day where ever you are. I'll be back tomorrow for a further update on conditions.
Cheers
