The south swell has jumped overnight, the wind's light and the sun's trying to break free of the clouds and smoke. Good news on three fronts, unless of course today's your first day back on the tools.

Right now the tide is high which seems to be favourable with the sand we've got at the moment. Fingers crossed this swell is going to shuffle the banks a bit and add a little form to some pretty straight sandbanks.

Over in Freshwater the Banks Sample Sale is in full swing while the Freshy Help Out raffles have already raised $25,000 for the bushfire relief effort! There's still tickets left in a 12 mega raffles! Also, if you're planing on attending the event, be sure to RSVP to the event here!
