Bronte Baths 5:30 am and no room to swing a cat. Humans with cameras and tripods everywhere, feverishly waiting for a sunrise which never really quite happened. I strolled along the beach for a more private angle.

Small, junky mixed angle swell was hitting the reef and middle bank. A strong wind from one direction – south. Today’s surf report? Don’t expect to get tubed.

There was way more activity going down on the land than in the surf. East Side Crew fitness class was hard at it, with soft sand jogging followed by beach sprint relays. I felt puffed just watching but the ball game to finish looked like a lot of fun.

If you do go down for a dip today, be prepared for an ice-cream headache, the water temp has dropped to 16 degrees. And that’s pretty chilly!
