The swell is here…but 2 days late. Imagine how good it could’ve been if it had come on Tuesday…

Today is no scorcher, but there are waves again. It’s waist to head-high, got some power, but it’s still a bit messy. The winds have blown enough to give the waves a grungy look. But hey, finally we have the opportunity to take the shortboard out of the closet again !

Personally, I am craving for another day like Tuesday. This is exactly why I migrated to Australia in the first place: hot, heavy, everyone at the beach, staying well after the sunset. A couple of Coopers, some take-away food, North Bondi, the grass, smiles, laughter, tiny tiny bikinis, biiiig sunglasses, creatine-fed muscles & funny dogs. I almost felt like I was at a music Festival…except that everyone was high on vitamin D. Can’t wait for the next of those.

The flipside of that are the bushfires…fingers crossed it gets under control soon. The human toll and the risks taken by the fire-fighters have been massive already.

So, you might not get a great colour coating today, but you’ll get waves. Taking a sickie today might be the right move: it’s not as obvious as on a sunny day ! Get out there !
