Bit bumpy, but waves around
Hello Friends,
Your postcard was taken a few hours ago at Rincon. The son of my late friend is on the wave in the background – which was about as big as anything that came through. He and another close friend had our own little paddle out ceremony. We got in to fulfill a promise to his dad that I’d scatter some of his ashes at the spot where we’d caught so many great waves together.
Looks like an okay day for a wave in Sydney too, although the wind call could be better…
Hope you got your share and maybe tell a good mate how important they are to you.

A cold front crossing the coastal waters on Monday will bring a brief southerly wind change in its wake. Then, winds will turn northerly again ahead of the next cold cold front crossing the state mid next week.
