Sun and surf! The two magic ingredients that seem to brighten any day. The sun isn’t essential for a surfer but it sure feels nice as you cruise down the beach, board under arm, wetsuit half on, the heat warming your bare back.

The waves are still pumping with the swell swinging more out of the south now. All the beaches had good waves early, except for Bondi which was closing out a little on the low tide.

The wind has dropped and is moving around to the north, so it looks like a great afternoon ahead.

The weekend outlook is also promising with the swell predicted to get a little bigger. With Sculptures By The Sea in full swing, it could be time to hit the highway in search of something a little less crowded. Otherwise, good luck getting a parking spot because it's going to be hectic!
