Crept Down

Swell has crept down to only 2-3ft now.  5:42am high means a bit fat and backwashy.  There’s a couple of shoulders at the end of closeouts mid beach and sth ends but pretty crowded considering.  Should get better for a moment as tides drops but if you know somewhere that was good yesterday go there

Small But Sweet, In Byron Bay Today.

Well there was lots of talk in the usual places about a swell arriving from the south, in Byron Bay today. Late last weekend there were forecasts calling that it would reach four metres plus. Yet it never really came to be, at best we saw a small increase in a few slow lines earlier in the week. By the time we got around to today, there was little more than ,,,, in Byron Bay today.

On the road: Lennox Head

 

 

 

Hello Friends,
Another north coast wrap for our evening visitors.

This morning dawned bright and clear and rather cool on the far north coast. We didn’t rush out the door, figuring that it might be a plan to let the school kids and workers have their go first. Started by checking Lennox and discovered pretty much in line with expectations, that it had weakened overnight. Lots of people were on the very top of the point where waves were still chest to shoulder high on sets. Some of the better ones went a ways, but mostly it kinda looked like a good beachbreak in terms of ride length. And down the point toward the trees it was too small to attract any takers. We’re very familiar with the entry/exit from Lennox and given the crowd and wave quality, we decided it wasn’t worth the risk of getting pranged.

So, around to Boulder we went in search of something a bit more attractive. When we pulled up the carpark was full and there were half a dozen people standing on the headland, watching. Seeing all the cars and people, we thought there might be some waves of interest – albeit crowded.

In fact, there were only 5 people in the water. So the rest of the carpark musta been fishers. It was extremely inconsistent and weak looking. Again, it basically looked like a beachbreak peak with a rocky shore. Oh well.

So, back to Lennox and out to the reefs for a semi-peaky section that was delivering the odd quick little right in the waist to chest high range. Only the two of us out, so it was definitely worth doing but you wouldn’t call it epic or anything.

Water was pleasant, though not particularly warmer than Sydney was last week. Lotsa people up this way are in steamers too. It’s probably those chilly morning winds.

Outlook up this way tomorrow is for the swell to drop another cog, so not sure where we’ll end up. It looks a bit more hopeful for those of you in Sydney.

Have a good one!

Downward trend.

A little smaller this morning at around 3 – 4 foot SE swell.  Straighter than yesterday and some are shutting down.  Still a beautiful day and if you can get out there you should,as it will be smaller from here on.  Enjoy and subscribe to Surf Photos of You.

Dropped

Swell dropped to around shoulder high along the beach an the increased number of longboarders back out to cement the drop in size.  The usual cold offshore wind and the odd shoulder but I didn’t see too many exciting ones.   Maybe some bigger and better ones elsewhere.

The Switch, In Byron Bay Today

The Switch, In Byron Bay Today. No doubt about it, winter seems to have well and truly arrived, in Byron Bay today. The swell is too south to really get in and the wind has a little too much west to keep it clean. There’s a chill in the air and logs everywhere as the banks take on their log friendly winter form. It’s not unusual for the banks to shape up this way at this time of year. In Byron Bay Today.
