The shark alarm cleared North Maroubra this morning around 6am. Rumor has it, there is a friendly shark looking for a few mates in the lineup. He’s been around all week the local boys tell me. Do you get out when you hear the alarm? Comment here.
With a new north wind swell, there are a few waves today. It’s 2 foot with a few wedgey ramps at The Bra. Nothing special. I wouldn’t tools down and bake it down there.
It’s gonna get hot today, 33-degree-hot. Typical of Sydney, thunderstorms will arrive around 4pmish to cool things down. Still should be pleasant for your after work swim.
31 days until Christmas. Should you want to purchase any of our hand made fine artworks from @aquabumpsgallery, please get in soon as we need to 2-3 weeks to make anything. Call 02 9130 7788 or check out our online catalogue

Dude, if a shark alarm went off people would think it was the second coming – I’d be walking on the water to get the hell out of there!
2 years ago in Newcastle we had beaches closed for days on end due to sharks. After a while, local surfers were “over it”, particularly when it was 30 + degrees, offshore and 2-4 ft. During these times surfers would stay close to each other in the line up playing the statistical odds game with no one venturing too far out the back for set waves in case they were picked off by a roving shark. We all survived ??
We had a 7-8 foot shark at Newport on Northern Beaches early Sunday morning at the Peak. Clubies sent a rescue boat to pick up some ocean swimmers. No harm done. No lives lost.
Good job Maroubra lifeguards….on the job early and aware….there have been small grey nurse sharks coming in to feed behind and through the break for salmon that have congregated in numbers the last few weeks with warming ocean temperatures….south bra has magic point sanctuary ….so be aware of your shark species……
no sharks here. south wales is the new new south wales.
