Cool conditions once again as the beaches continue to be hammered by this southerly wind. At least the swell has picked up. It isn't pretty but its solid and there should be some decent size peaks around as the tide fills in during the day.

I ventured over to The Bra this morning and found Mark Mathews out alone at north end. He was jagging the odd left punt into the strong cross shore wind and hacking up some bumpy rights. At the same time, his big wave partner in crime, Richie Vas had his ipod plugged in while churning out laps of the soft sand to south end and back. The boys aren't sleeping, jet lagged from a whirlwind tour of Europe and South Africa showing their Fighting Fear movie. Three weeks of doing nothing but eating and drinking can take the edge off and when the next big swell could pop up tomorrow, there is no time to waste in getting back to the peak fitness required for the crazy antics these guys excel at.

I will be back tomorrow with hopefully some better news on conditions. In the mean time, if you plan on Xmas shopping, please consider visiting our online store, or come over to our Bronte gallery. We have framed prints and beautiful acrylic blocks which would make a very special gift for someone.

Have great day!
