Aquabumps.com - where the waves live

Now ya torkin…swells up folks. Had a look around Cronulla and found a few off the point that looked like fun. Mostly 6-8 foot solid with some cracker sets - loads of paddling against a strong current - a great day for a tow. SSW winds currently hacking through Sydney at 10-20 knots causing havoc at exposed breaks, so hit those southern protected corners. Northern beaches would have plenty on offer - Manly probably smokin’…Bondi would be a mass of foam and lethal currents - forget that…get in the car, grab a decent sized board and bake it.

Water is a cooler 19, land max 19 as well. High tide 4:30pm, Low tide 10am. Bit of east in this beefy swell…(ESE 4-5m). Um. Tomorrow…bring it orn.

Kelly Slater wins the Billabong Pro in Tahiti with 2 perfect 10’s! (that’s 20 points out of possible 20!). Some rate it the best competition surfing of all time…more
