What can I say that hasn't already been said about how nice it is out there in the sunshine today? Completely Marvelous! I haven't said that before.

It's rare to get a sunrise that has not a whisper of cloud laying somewhere on the horizon but today it was clean as a whistle and totally clear as that big orange ball rose from the edge of the ocean.

I guess the waves can get smaller, but I think today is around the limit for riding one. By the time the tide fills in, it probably won't be breaking at all.

There were a dozen or so surfers out on sunrise, despite the tiny conditions and there were quite a few girls amongst the group.

I remember a time when there were only a handful of girls surfing on the south side beaches but now you see them every day out there, mixing it up with the blokes. The lineup is a nicer place when you mix the gender a little.

And some even paddle big waves now! Click HERE.
