A quick drive around the beaches early and there isn’t too much to report. It’s wet, windy and mostly empty of human traffic, except for a few hard core workout junkies and some early workers making their way to the bus stop in the drizzling rain. I never saw a single surfer, so that tells you you’re not missing much in the dirty mess that is our ocean right now.

This low pressure system is currently off Newcastle and deepening, so you can expect conditions to get a little worse, before they get better. With all the dry weather and bushfires lately, it’s certainly a back flip. We have received more rainfall in the last week or so, than for entire period between July and October.

Have a good week everyone. Things should improve, surf wise as well from tomorrow, nothing amazing for wave riding but at this time of year, you should be happy riding anything above head high.

Cheers
