Bondi 7am – north swell not touching Bondi
The north swell machine continues to roll past Bondi today…south facing beaches barely picking up a knee high wave. Loads of crew bobbing up and down nonetheless, optimistically. This north swell is getting bigger so any beach facing north (or even east) would have a few on offer today… It’s a wind swell, so the waves are close together and break a little on the fat side.
Wind: N/NE 10/15 knots increasing to 20/25 knots in the afternoon. The high tide at 12:08 will magnify fatness, the 18:49 low tide should show an improvement. Weather is sensational and 29 degrees for both today and tomorrow. Yyyyyeeeeha. Gotta love summer.
Sunday 16th January has been declared a National Day of Mourning in Australia for the Tsunami victims. Around the country a number of individuals and groups are looking to hold paddle-outs to form Rings of Remembrance to honour the victims and their families. Rings of Remembrance is a concept that has been used throughout the tradition of surfing to pay respect to loved ones who have passed away. There is a ring being formed at a beach near you. Check the Surfrider Foundation website for locations and time. www.surfrider.org.au
