Most Eastern Beaches' surfers would have known there was going to be a delivery of Big Macs this morning – cold chilly ones out of the south. On sunrise the swell was manageable with a few guys scoring some nice rides but within an hour it picked up making the rock jump scary and dangerous, while sending broken boards and battered souls back to the beach. It is solid and not for the faint hearted today. I saw some 6 to 8 footers at Bronte. 

The swell will peak this afternoon and will slowly fall away leaving us with fun sized waves for the rest of the week. Hope you have some good rubber because that SW wind is fresh and will be lurking for the rest of the week. 

This morning's conditions were in stark contrast to what I became happily used to over in the Maldives. Even though I had to leave the perfect weather and waves behind, I'm glad to be back at home and once again sharing the local froth!

We must be close to that first dumping of snow down on the snow fields. STM at Bondi Junction has everything you need from rental gear to the top end stuff for those quick weekends away in the white powdery stuff. 

Stay warm – Brad.
