Curl Curl 6:30am small small small
What happened? Who turned the waves off? Yesterday was looking great and then the one day wonder swell ran away…

Trying to spread the Bumps around the place and took a (early) drive to Curl Curl to see whether the south swell was getting in there. Nup. 6 guys out playing on waist to shoulder high weak waves. Great sunrise on the cliff edge – pure gold. Looks like the NW wind is going to deteriorate this micro swell and there won’t be much left for the rest of the week.

Curl Curl is a good looking beach on the north side of Sydney (for those not from here). Picks up any hint of a south swell. The sand is clean and is relatively deserted in the morning (very different to Bondage). The name Curl Curl was probably an accidental variation of the same Aboriginal term "Curial Curial" which referred to the passage of man on the river of life. Curly is home to many great surfers…like six time womens world champion Layne Beachely. 1 problem…that Spit Bridge is a nightmare for traffic.

Wanted…beach BUM’s. Need a new, kick ass job in the surf industry??? Our good friends at beach culture are looking for intelligent, successful, entrepreneurial inclined beach BUM’s who want to work bloody hard and make lots of money running their own beach/surf lifestyle shop or women’s SWIM emporium.
