Winds will be good in the morning.... in Newcastle.
NE breeze is currently dying off, to be replaced by a light NW in the morning. And there are options in a NE wind in any case.
Sydney won't be so lucky with onshores to greet you when you wake up
This swell is just a warmup for later in the week. ENE groundswell and S winds should be nice for the usual suspects on Thu/Fri.

Yep, NE for the early but just swinging towards NW now as I left.
Offshores ALL day I reckon, clean as for tomorrow with the building swell
Happy days

That would be the one that arrived first on Saturday afternoon and was here all day Sunday, I suppose.

Goldie getting hammered relentlessly between 6 and 8 feet, extremely consistent, hard to errr "penetrate", foul winds, filthy water.

You didn't swing around & takeoff??
I remember the days when you wouldn't have hesitated, starting to get old mate......
Just got in from Bungan, a bit of size but full as a fat ladies shoe.

Well it was pumping yesterday evening! My shoulder held up alright, i just got barrelled off my face and avoided the ramps. Cant complain though, except my shoulder is sore again.
