Before the days of Coastalwatch convenience and wind forecasting, myself and other Tama groms had another method of reading the winds up our sleeve. All it use to take was one glance at Timmy Turtle's Aussie flag flapping in the breeze to know exactly what the wind was doing. These days, as I drive around the bend at Tama, I still look up to see what Tim's flag is doing. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. But this morning it was flapping with vigor, unfortunately from the ENE meaning our beachies were suffering from a case of morning sickness. Keep that flag up Tim!
The morning low tide made conditions difficult and the only hope of a reasonable paddle was Bondi and Maroubra. Tama and Bronte looked dreadful! If you can nick out of the office for a lunchtime session then you may well be rewarded with better waves than what were on offer this morning.
