Entering the sea at The Pass, Byron - strong east-west sweep, quicker back to the beach, then Cultcharal Centre.

Byron swim, Fridee morn - one of our highlights here. Bit cloudy, water a bit brown, but very warm.

Mona Vale pano this am. Offering "sheltered" bay break with heavy shore dump, channels, reefs, eddies, beach break

Mona Vale this morn. There's a swell running. Fun.
