The month of October brings sadness to many Eastern Suburbs' locals, in particular the Byron family and friends. As the dreaded day of the 12th comes and goes, shrouded in grief, the light at the end is the annual Chloe Byron Longboard Comp. A wonderful day when the community joins each other to celebrate the lives of those who lost theirs in Bali, 2002. In particular, to remember the exuberant beautiful young lady, Chloe, who is dearly missed by many. While the day is mostly about bringing the community together there is also a surf comp. Jessie Miley-Dyer won the women's event, Robyn Stonefield blitzed the stand-up paddle and local larrikin Harries took out the men's event. Lots of money was raised for the Victims of Homicide charity and smiles were on everyone's faces – what a great day!
As for today, in one word the surf conditions are ugly. Unfortunately the swell has been ripped to shreds by the southerly but, the good news is, the swell has jumped to 3-4ft at south-facing Bondi. If your super keen try Bronte otherwise wait it out till tomorrow.
Have a great day – Brad
