Fizza.
The small increase in east swell didn’t really kick in that’s for shizzle. Pretty similar to yesterday. It’s micro and suitable for the newbies to the sport. Bondi had knee to waist high dribbles with a massive crowd optimistically staring into the early morning horizon inferno. Good light early. Bit cloudy now. May improve later on a lower tide but really you’d want to be keen. This week ain’t too flash for a wave. Swell size peaks tomorrow morning before the period drops out of it creating sub 2 footers for at least 6 days…

Rotto Raft Up.
Now here is something to do when there are no waves… Get 500 of your mates and tie about 10 mil worth of boats together in a bay out of the back of Rottnest Island (you’re all making too much money over there). Add a cranking stezza or two, turn the heat up to 38 degrees and you’ve got the annual Rotto Boxing Day Raft up. Took some pics before it got real messy. Best day of the year over there. Insane.

Nibble.
Last week I was lurking up the north coast of NSW. Rocked up to a beachie that had been pumping for the past few months…and yep, it looked like it was working at 3-4 foot. But eh? Not a sole out. 30 minutes before our arrival Tracks surf photographer Dave Sparks had his board bitten by a shark. He was uninjured but very rattled said guys on beach. They’re around…
